CENTEGIX, a leader in wearable duress badges, today announced it has been named an Industry Partner by the Texas Hospital Association (THA), a designation that streamlines access to vetted, high-impact solutions for hospitals and healthcare systems across Texas.

As an Industry Partner, CENTEGIX joins a select group of companies recognized by THA for meeting rigorous standards and delivering the highest value to member hospitals. The designation enables THA's 400,000-member healthcare workforce to more easily implement CENTEGIX's CrisisAlert™ solution—an innovative wearable staff duress badge that empowers healthcare workers to discreetly call for help and accelerates response times.

As an Industry Partner, CENTEGIX joins a select group of companies recognized by THA.

THA represents more than 85% of Texas acute-care hospitals and healthcare systems. These providers are experiencing violence and witnessing violence against healthcare workers at unprecedented levels: approximately 98% of Texas hospitals reported that workplace violence has remained constant or increased within the last three years.

"At the Texas Hospital Association, we understand the complex and rapidly changing forces that impact efficient, quality hospital operations," says Alex Huff, Vice President, Health Technology Innovation, Texas Hospital Association. "Our knowledge of the Texas healthcare marketplace allows us to save our hospitals valuable time vetting vendors and facilitate introductions with best-in-class vendors that can meet their needs."

This shift has prompted schools to rethink security from the inside and place greater emphasis on interior elements such as classroom doors. This shift is evidenced by a new generation of classroom door systems engineered to delay inside intruders and an ASTM standard that raises the bar on how these systems must be designed to defend against attack.
