Mitigating violence in a clinical care environment

A system for mitigating violence in a clinical care environment, the system comprising:

• at least one processing device;
• and
• a memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
• detect at least one individual who is exhibiting violent behavior within the clinical care environment;
• identify a location of the at least one individual who is exhibiting the violent behavior based on data received from a location tracking system;
• control operation of a first device based on the location of the at least one individual who is exhibiting the violent behavior, the first device being a speaker communicatively coupled to a patient bed located within the clinical care environment, the speaker issuing an audible notification for a patient admitted to the patient bed to remain in the patient bed;
• and
• generate an alert based on the location of the at least one individual who is exhibiting the violent behavior, the alert being communicated to a second device associated with a caregiver on duty within the clinical care environment.
