Versailles, Ohio – October 01, 2026 -- Midmark RTLS has added its CareFlow RTLS Staff Duress solution to the Epic Toolbox in the Staff Duress category for 2026, integrating real-time, location-aware caregiver duress alerts directly into Epic's electronic health record system.

Badge-based alerts feed directly into Epic's push notification framework

CareFlow Staff Duress connects to Epic using HL7 FHIR-based APIs, allowing Midmark RTLS badges already worn by caregivers to trigger duress alerts with a discreet button press. When activated, Epic receives the staff member's identity and real-time location and notifies designated security and informational response groups through its push notification system. Responders can acknowledge or decline alerts within Epic itself, keeping emergency coordination inside existing clinical software.
