Your staff do hard work. Give them the right tools to do it safely.
Residential treatment staff face behavioral escalations, AWOL situations, and the documentation demands of licensing and accreditation, every shift, around the clock. PushPulse gives your team instant staff-to-staff communication, one-tap alerts when someone needs backup, and automatic incident documentation that holds up under licensing review.

Licensing Documentation
When a situation escalates, backup is one tap away.
Behavioral escalations happen without warning and can move fast. A staff member managing a youth in crisis needs backup immediately, without leaving the room, without making a phone call that changes the dynamic of the situation, and without waiting for someone to notice on a radio channel everyone is already on. PushPulse lets any staff member call for backup silently with one tap from their phone or a Bluetooth button on their lanyard. The alert reaches the on-call supervisor and available staff immediately with location context attached. The right people are moving before the situation develops further. Every action from the alert through the resolution is logged automatically so the incident record is complete before the shift debrief.
- Silent one-tap backup alert from phone or Bluetooth lanyard button
- Alert routes to supervisor and available staff with location attached
- No voice call or visible phone interaction required to activate
- Push-to-talk coordination for staff responding to the room
- Automatic incident timeline from alert through resolution
- Custom incident report forms for behavioral events
When a youth goes AWOL, every staff member knows immediately.
An AWOL situation requires an immediate, coordinated response across your entire team. Who was last seen with the youth, what they were wearing, which exits were unsecured, who is searching which zones, when to notify the licensing authority. Without a coordinated communication tool, that information travels by radio call, phone tree, and hallway conversation while the youth gets further away. PushPulse alerts every staff member simultaneously the moment an AWOL is reported, with the youth's description and last known location attached. Push-to-talk keeps the search team coordinated across the facility and the surrounding area. Every action is logged to the incident timeline automatically so the notification to your licensing body and the complete incident report are ready as soon as the situation is resolved.
- Instant all-staff alert with description and last known location
- Push-to-talk coordination across facility and surrounding search area
- Real-time check-in as staff confirm their search zones are clear
- Supervisor visibility across the full search response
- Automatic incident timeline from alert through resolution
- Exportable incident report for licensing notification and regulatory review
A 24/7 residential environment runs on shift communication.
Residential treatment never stops. Three shifts a day, seven days a week, with handoffs that need to transfer the full picture of the current milieu, active behavioral concerns, medication schedules, and any incidents from the previous shift. PushPulse gives your team push-to-talk and team chat for real-time coordination throughout the shift, and a Document Library where supervisors publish shift notes, standing protocols, and program-specific procedures that every staff member can access from their phone. Shift activity logs capture what happened during each shift so the handoff is documented rather than verbal. Incoming staff start the shift informed, not catching up.
- Push-to-talk and team chat for real-time shift coordination
- Document Library for standing protocols and program procedures
- Shift activity logs document the milieu throughout the shift
- Supervisor visibility across units during the shift
- Incoming staff access shift notes before they arrive
- Consistent communication across overnight and weekend shifts
The documentation your licensing body expects, built while your team responds.
CARF, Joint Commission, and state licensing bodies all require specific incident documentation: what happened, when, who was present, what interventions were used, and what follow-up was completed. Facilities that cannot produce organized, timestamped records face findings that affect their license, their accreditation, and their funding. PushPulse builds that documentation automatically during every incident. Every alert, every staff response, every action taken is logged to the incident timeline from the first tap. Pair it with a custom incident report form and the complete record is ready for your licensing file before the shift ends. No reconstructing events from memory. No incomplete records assembled the morning before an inspection.
- Automatic incident timeline for every activation
- Custom incident report forms for behavioral events, AWOL situations, and injuries
- Drill participation records for licensing and accreditation review
- Exportable reports formatted for CARF, Joint Commission, and state licensing
- Complete incident history accessible from the admin dashboard
- Drill mode for practicing response protocols without activating a real alert
Your staff cannot always call for help in a way that is visible or audible in the room. A silent alert that gets backup moving without changing the dynamic of the situation is not a feature. It is a staff safety requirement.
An AWOL that is well-coordinated and thoroughly documented is a materially different regulatory conversation than one with no clear response record. PushPulse gives your team the coordination tools and the documentation simultaneously.
A verbal shift handoff misses things. A documented shift log that the incoming supervisor reads before they walk in the door does not. PushPulse closes the gap between what happened and what gets communicated.
Licensing inspectors do not ask whether you have a response protocol. They ask for the documentation that proves it was followed. PushPulse gives you that documentation without a separate recordkeeping system or a staff member filling out forms after a twelve-hour shift.
