We’re just back from The American Society for Health Care Engineering - ASHE 2023 conference, where our team had the opportunity to showcase our anti-barricade door system with a first-of-its-kind ligature door alarm sensor and our ligature-resistant bathroom door to behavioral healthcare professionals.
Daniel VonderBrink, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Safehinge Primera, shared:
“What an experience! Listening to people’s ideas, challenges, and feedback and finding ways that we can support their projects and ultimately help to improve the future of behavioral health spaces to aid patient recovery was an eye-opener.
“Our products received some real interest, and it was great to speak to clients in person who we had only met virtually in the past. We’re already making plans for next year!”
What Is the ASHE Conference?
This Annual Conference and Technical Exhibition is a premier event that brings together healthcare professionals, engineers, architects, and industry experts to showcase innovative solutions such as behavioral safety products and share best practices in healthcare facility management and design.
Did you meet our team at Stand 410?
Safehinge Primera's presence at ASHE Annual Conference 2023 marked an exciting opportunity for healthcare professionals to explore the company's innovative doorset solutions that have been transforming healthcare environments across the UK. We design our range of products to address critical challenges faced by healthcare facilities, such as patient safety, staff efficiency, and infection control.
Introducing Our Anti-Barricade Doorset
One of the standout products amongst clients was our anti-barricade doorset (Swifstop). Our engineers have designed this innovative doorset with patient well-being at its core, providing an array of remarkable features and benefits.
In an emergency, every second counts when dealing with door barricades within adult behavioral health facilities. This robust, reliable, intuitive doorsets with a collapsible anti-barricade doorstop - Swiftstop, provides the fastest and safest door barricade access in patient mental health care. The doorstop is activated from a single release point by staff safely positioned to the side, giving emergency access in just seconds.
Designed to eliminate the risk of self-harm incidents, the anti-barricade doorset employs a sophisticated yet discreet anti-ligature door design that ensures patient safety without compromising aesthetics.
The Anti-barricade Doorset isn't just a door – it's a catalyst for positive change, redefining the landscape of behavioral health and heralding a new era of patient-centered recovery.
Let’s Not Forget About Our Ligature-Resistant Bathroom Door
Visitors to Safehinge Primera's stand also found our ligature-resistant bathroom doorset captivating due to its unique blend of functionality, patient-centered design, and safety features. They recognized its ability to provide patients with a sense of autonomy and privacy, vital components of fostering a therapeutic environment for recovery.
Its potential to transform patient experiences while ensuring safety resonated deeply with those striving to elevate the standard of care in behavioral health at the ASHE Conference 2023.
It’s important to note that our ligature-resistant door for bathrooms and showers has no known ligature points preventing suicide attempts. Using load release technology, our ligature-resistant breakaway door releases under a maximum weight of 11 lbs (the Office of Mental Health New York (OMH-NY) safe limit).
Redefining Behavioral Healthcare Spaces
We believe our participation in ASHE 2023 was a resounding success, showcasing our dedication to innovation, patient-centered design, and the advancement of healthcare facility solutions. Through conversations with clients, it was clear that well-designed doors play a pivotal role in creating safer, more efficient, and welcoming healthcare environments.
As healthcare continues to evolve, our commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and technology ensures that we remain at the forefront of shaping the future of healthcare facility solutions. We hope we left a lasting impression on attendees and inspired the industry as a whole.
