MEDFORD, Massachusetts & NEWARK, New Jersey—Innovive Health, a data-driven home health care agency serving complex behavioral health patients, and The Peace of Mind (POM) Safe, a personal safety solution for health care workers, announced a new partnership that aims to offer the POM Safe solution to clinicians.
POM Safe’s collaboration with Innovive Health aims to enable members of Innovive’s clinical team to serve patients in various settings while having reliable access to the POM Safe communications device, which is designed for proactive management of challenging situations.
POM Safe aims to improve safety in the health care field by providing emergency services from the touch of a button. With a combination of a physical device, a mobile app and 24/7 dispatch, POM Safe provides custom safety solutions. In an emergency, clinicians can initiate a two-way call with “POM Dispatch,” sharing their exact location to ensure emergency help is sent to the right place. The mobile app, “POM Mobile,” includes proactive safety measures, such as fake phone calls, timed safety check-ins and one-tap text messages. Additionally, the device includes mass safety alerts, geographic appointment check-in and check-outs and POM Safe’s 360 Safety Network, which features incident reports and direct access to sex offense registry and crime database reports.
Innovive Health focuses on patients who have multiple medical comorbidities with complicating behavioral illness, treating and educating patients on their holistic well-being in the comfort of their own homes. As the company continues to expand into new markets—most recently, Colorado—it works to improve continuity of care and improve health care. By partnering with POM Safe, Innovive Health strives to support its growth by providing extra peace of mind for current employees, while representing a new tool that will help attract clinicians to join the agency.
“We are pleased to launch this innovative partnership with POM Safe to provide an extra layer of protection for our clinicians,” said Kristen Palumbo, chief operating officer and chief compliance officer of Innovive Health. “At Innovive Health, the safety and well-being of our staff is our top priority, along with providing exceptional care to our patients. In my role as chair of our safety committee, it is my responsibility to ensure that Innovive clinical staff members have the tools they need to provide safe and effective care. Our leadership team collaborated with our field clinicians to design the solutions that would best address their identified needs. POM Safe has seamlessly integrated into our existing operational safeguards and educational initiatives on safe patient care. The user-friendly mobile device will enable our clinicians in the field to deter or de-escalate a situation, and if needed, connect them with 24/7 emergency help.”
“We’ve seen the measurable impact of our safety solutions, which have improved the security of workers in a variety of sectors, and we are excited to partner with Innovive Health to provide additional safety tools for their home healthcare clinicians,” said AJ Leahy, founder and chief executive officer of POM Safe. “As an early adopter of new technology to enhance the care that they provide to their patients, Innovive Health was a natural fit for the POM solution. Together, we can demonstrate how home health care providers can better leverage technology to both care for patients while offering an extra layer of protection for their nurses and clinical teams.”
