Midmark RTLS expands Epic Toolbox presence with CareFlow RTLS Staff Duress

Published

on

Healthcare organizations can now bring real-time, location-aware staff duress alerts into the clinical workflows caregivers already use, helping strengthen caregiver safety and emergency response.

VERSAILLES, Ohio, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Midmark RTLS, a leading real-time locating system (RTLS) technology provider focused on clinical workflow solutions and data insights that improve the delivery of care, today announced that its staff safety solution, CareFlow RTLS Staff Duress, has joined the Epic Toolbox in the Staff Duress category for 2026, expanding Midmark’s portfolio of Epic-integrated workflow solutions.

The designation reflects Midmark’s commitment to connected clinical workflows and provides healthcare organizations with an integrated staff safety solution that helps security teams respond more quickly during workplace violence events.

Designed to work within the clinical workflows caregivers already use, CareFlow Staff Duress integrates with Epic using HL7 FHIR-based APIs, enabling Midmark RTLS badges to send real-time, location-aware staff duress alerts directly into Epic. With the discreet press of a badge button, caregivers can quickly request assistance while providing responders with critical information about who needs help and where they are located—helping accelerate response during workplace violence events.

When a caregiver activates a staff duress alert via their badge, Epic receives the staff member’s identity and real-time location from CareFlow RTLS. Epic then notifies designated security response and informational groups through its push notification framework, helping teams quickly assess, coordinate and respond to the situation. Responders can also acknowledge or decline alerts directly within Epic, supporting a more efficient and connected emergency response workflow.

“Protecting caregivers requires more than a panic button—it requires connected technology that delivers the right information to the right people at the right time,” said HT Snowday, senior director at Midmark RTLS. “Joining the Epic Toolbox with CareFlow Staff Duress helps healthcare organizations integrate staff safety into the clinical workflows caregivers already use, bringing real-time, location-aware duress alerts into Epic to enable faster, more informed emergency response.”

Unlike standalone panic button solutions, CareFlow Staff Duress leverages the same RTLS badges many caregivers already wear for workflow automation and clinical communication, eliminating the need for additional devices while providing responders with the real-time location information needed to act quickly during an emergency.

CareFlow RTLS Staff Duress offers several key advantages:

One badge, multiple workflows: Uses the same Midmark RTLS badge for staff safety and clinical workflow automation within Epic, reducing device burden for caregivers.Integrated workflows: Delivers real-time, location-aware staff duress alerts directly into Epic, helping accelerate emergency response.Actionable location intelligence: Provides responders with real-time information about who needs help and where they are located.Flexible deployment: Supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Infrared (IR) and Hybrid RTLS technologies, allowing healthcare organizations to leverage existing RTLS investments, start with easy-to-deploy BLE or adopt a hybrid RTLS approach to deliver the right level of location certainty where it matters most.

The addition of CareFlow Staff Duress to the Epic Toolbox marks the next step in the long-standing relationship between Midmark RTLS and Epic and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering interoperable solutions that help healthcare organizations improve caregiver safety, streamline clinical workflows and enhance the delivery of care. Since the first CareFlow RTLS-Epic integration was deployed in 2012, Midmark RTLS has continued to expand its Epic integrations to support real-time location visibility, patient flow, workflow automation and now integrated staff safety—bringing critical workflows together within the systems caregivers already use every day.

New brand strengthens the connection between two independently accredited institutions while expanding access to Christ-centered online education

GLENDORA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU) is now Azusa Pacific University Global (APU Global), marking a new chapter for the university and strengthening its connection to Azusa Pacific University (APU).

LAPU becomes APU Global, bringing fully online, Christ-centered education under the Azusa Pacific University name.

APU Global is the fully online university within the APU ecosystem, offering 100% online, asynchronous associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs designed to meet the needs of working adults and learners wherever they are. APU continues to provide excellent on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

Together, APU and APU Global provide students with distinct educational pathways under a shared APU brand and a common commitment to Christ-centered, faith-integrated education.

“By aligning under the APU name, we’re creating a recognized, powerful identity for online learners,” said Jay Goin, president of APU Global. “This reduces market confusion and expands our reach to a wider audience, making it easier than ever for students to find the exact education path that fits them best.”

“This move enables us to present a unified brand to the marketplace and amplify our impact,” said Adam J. Morris, president of Azusa Pacific University. “It ensures that whether a student is seeking a premier residential and hybrid experience on our campuses or a specialized world-class online journey, they find their home within the APU ecosystem.”

The transition from LAPU to APU Global strategically leverages the unique strengths of both institutions, expands their reach, and makes it easier for students to find the educational experience that best fits their goals and lives.

Two Institutions, One Shared Mission

While APU and APU Global now share a unified brand presence, they remain two distinct, independently accredited institutions. Each institution maintains its own leadership, academic governance, faculty handbooks, and operating structures.

The partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to providing a Christ-centered, faith-integrated educational experience.

“Our God First mission will guide this partnership, ensuring we continue to deliver a top Christ-centered education to the students we serve,” Morris said.

A Clearer Path for Online Learners

APU Global serves students seeking a fully online education through asynchronous learning designed to provide flexibility for working adults and learners wherever they are located. As the #1 Christian university for alumni earnings in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, APU will continue to focus on its on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

The partnership also creates opportunities for APU and APU Global to leverage online resources to enhance the experience for existing and future learners.

For current LAPU students, the transition to APU Global is seamless, allowing them to continue their day-to-day educational experience without disruption. Students continue taking their online courses, receiving support from dedicated faculty and staff, and progressing toward their degrees as planned. The primary change is the transition of the university’s name and visual identity to APU Global.

About Azusa Pacific University

Since 1899, Azusa Pacific University, a top Christian higher education institution in the nation, has helped students discover their higher calling to impact the world for Christ. Featuring world-class faculty, an APU education leads to lifelong transformation and eternal impact. APU offers 59 bachelor’s degrees, 34 master’s degrees, 35 certificates and credentials, and 7 doctoral programs to more than 7,000 students at the university’s main campus in Azusa, several regional locations across Southern California, and online.
