Presbyterian Healthcare Services Selects Commure Strongline Staff Safety System
New Mexico health system will deploy Commure Strongline system across 70 buildings to enable clinicians and staff under duress to instantly call for help
Commure, Inc. today announced that Presbyterian Healthcare Services of Albuquerque, New Mexico, will deploy the Commure Strongline staff safety system across Presbyterian’s entire enterprise, which encompasses 7,000 workers in 70 buildings.
Presbyterian is a not-for-profit healthcare system in New Mexico known nationally for its extensive experience in integrating healthcare financing and delivery. The system comprises nine hospitals, a multi-specialty medical group with more than 1,100 providers, and a statewide health plan; it serves 1 in 3 New Mexicans with healthcare or coverage.
Commure Strongline is a powerful and portable duress-alerting solution that can be easily installed to create safer care environments, help protect clinicians and staff, and ultimately improve engagement and retention. Commure Strongline is built by and for frontline caregivers, proactively preventing workplace violence across all care facilities, regardless of the scale.
Presbyterian successfully piloted Commure Strongline in two of its emergency departments in early 2022. Based on that positive experience, Presbyterian decided to implement the system across its entire enterprise, comprising five million square feet of coverage across 70 buildings. The deployment will begin immediately.
“At Presbyterian, the safety of our workforce is our top priority. By introducing new tools like Commure Strongline, we can help our teams worry less about their safety and focus even more on delivering great care,” said Tim Johnsen, chief operating officer, Presbyterian Delivery System.
