Through the latest technological advancements, the level of support available for behavioral health care providers is developing at a faster rate than ever before. From advanced ligature monitoring and reporting tools to wellness technology, innovation is helping to improve patient outcomes in behavioral health environments across the globe.
The importance of ligature monitoring and reporting
The arrival of such innovations is timely in light of ongoing difficulties faced within the behavioral health sector, with ligature risks in particular posing a significant challenge due to the high vulnerability of the patient population. Modern ligature monitoring systems such as Kingsway’s KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System serve as a crucial safeguard to provide real-time alerts, proactive intervention, and to support management teams in reporting and analyzing ward-based events:
- Identify patterns: Analyze trends in incidents to proactively address high-risk areas
- Allocate resources effectively: Use data to guide decisions on staffing, training, and technology
- Supporting the culture of safety: Demonstrate transparency and accountability, fostering trust among staff, patients and families
Why continuous innovation matters
Our mission as Your Partner in Patient Safety is clear: to help improve patient outcomes in challenging environments through continuous innovation. Through this continued innovation, Kingsway Group is helping behavioral health care providers build upon their existing safety measures with technology-driven solutions.
By combining advanced technology, user-centered design, and a deep understanding of behavioral health needs, as Your Partner in Patient Safety Kingsway aims to challenge the status quo and set new standards for safety in behavioral health.
Innovations like our SWING DTM Ligature-Resistant Door System and the award-wining KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System exemplify this mission. By equipping our behavioral health partners with solutions such as these, Kingsway is empowering facilities across North America to address risks proactively and deliver better patient outcomes, ultimately creating more therapeutic environments where patients and staff can thrive.
Designed with patient safety and staff efficiency in mind, the SWING DTM is equipped with an integrated monitoring system that detects ligature risks in real time, allowing rapid response to potentially life-threatening incidents. In addition to the material of the actual door itself, the ground-breaking technology not only enhances safety but allows facilities to maintain a therapeutic, recovery-focused atmosphere without compromising critical safety and security measures.
Looking ahead, Kingsway is also preparing to launch the KOSMOS Cloud, a revolutionary platform and part of the award-winning KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System that’s set to redefine data-driven facility management. KOSMOS promises to further elevate safety, efficiency, and decision-making, bringing enhanced ligature monitoring, reporting and data analysis to behavioral health environments.
