What Hospital Emergency
Scenarios is Lynx Designed For?
Hospital environments demand immediate response to both clinical and security emergencies. Lynx helps send notifications for your existing code system – whether that’s a cardiac arrest or an active threat – ensuring rapid team notification across every hospital department.
Personnel & Patient Safety Emergencies:
Integration with Existing
Hospital Security Systems
Modern hospitals rely on various high-complexity technical systems, including nurse calls, patient monitoring, access control, and video surveillance. Lynx creates a communication bridge between these platforms that effectively eliminates silos and enables a coordinated response across the entire facility.
Keep Your Existing Security Technology
Hospital staff already manage numerous systems and protocols during their shifts. Lynx augments your existing tools without adding complexity, enabling enhanced emergency response capabilities while preserving familiar workflows. Clinical and security teams continue using their standard devices and procedures while gaining powerful new emergency communication options.
The system coordinates responses across your hospital’s entire communication network to improve situation preparedness and response times without disrupting critical care operations.
Regulatory Compliance
for Healthcare Safety
Healthcare facilities must comply with OSHA’s General Duty Clause and workplace violence prevention laws in states like CA, CT, IL, MD, MN, NJ, OR, and WA. Lynx simplifies compliance with automated testing, audit trails, and detailed documentation of emergency notifications. Our tools ensure panic buttons and notification systems remain operational, helping facilities meet regulatory standards while proactively addressing safety concerns to protect staff and patients.

Testimonials From Healthcare Clients Using Lynx
“We use Lynx at all of our locations several different ways. Our primary use is for duress to call for outside help. We use to send messages to designated locations inside some of our larger buildings. Example is a missing child or a medical emergency. We also integrate with Ccure and use Lynx to unlock doors on the building.”
