The Work Involves A Comprehensive Upgrade And Update Of The Existing Lynx Panic/distress System To Enhance Its Functionality, Security, And Reliability. 3.0 Background: 75% Of Workplace Violence Occurs In Healthcare Facilities. With The Increase Of The Possibility Of Active Threats Within A Hospital It Was Determined By National Va To Implement Safety Measure Systems Available To Va Hospitals To Improve Response Times To An Active Threat. One System Available To Truman Va Is Lynx Systems. It Is Built To Detect Loud Noises, Such As Glass Break Detection, Aggression Detection, And Gun Shots, As Soon As It Happens Allowing Officers To Respond To Incidents Before They Escalate. Truman Vamc Already Has The Computer-based Lynx Panic/distress System On All Of Their Va Desktop And Laptops.
