Caregiver Safety: Situation and Solution (with Ali Al Jabry, CEO of Kwema.co)
Manage episode 421224111 series 2882255
The safety of healthcare workers is a large issue and a large concern. Home Care workers including Direct Service Professionals (DSPs) who provide supportive services for individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities are especially vulnerable.
This episode of Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars takes on the issue of caregiver safety with our guest Ali Al Jabry, founder and CEO of kwema.co. Ali shared more detailed statistics regarding the safety issue:
- Workplace violence can cost up to $56B per year, and women and healthcare workers are at even higher risk (per this article in Fast Company)
- "Every hour of every day, two healthcare workers experience verbal or physical abuse."
- Per this study, 22% of home care workers experienced verbal abuse in their jobs, and that set of caregivers were 11 times as likely to experience physical abuse
Ali shares great insights on the problem and also talks about the solution offered by his company Kwema (visit www.kwema.co). Recognizing that most healthcare workers and many home care workers wear a name badge, Kwema offers a name badge with a hidden button that contacts 911 in the event of an emergency.
Ali offered that any home care agency or day services center who mentions that they learned about the Kwema solution via this podcast can get free samples. You can reach Ali and Kwema at www.kwema.co.
