Effective Leaders are Effective Managers, Too

Why is it that no one aspires to be a good manager these days? While good leaders are essential for galvanizing people and moving organizations forward, managers are not any less important. Managers have to get things done through others.The manager is supposed to plan, organize, coordinate, and control.

Industry and Product News:
New Wander Prevention Watchlet Plus

-


       Xmark is pleased to introduce a product addition to its WatchMate System, the premier RF-based system for protecting healthcare residents who wander. Like the existing Watchlet, the new Watchlet Plus works with the current WatchMate System and carries a full three-year warranty that is transferable from one resident to another. Styled like a sleek wristwatch in an attractive tan color, the Watchlet Plus is ideal for today's home-like facility environments where respect for resident dignity is paramount. The Watchlet Plus and WatchMate provide a high level of security without the use of physical restraints. WatchMate can be programmed to lock a monitored door only when a wanderer approaches, allowing free egress for others. What's more, the unique ID of each Watchlet Plus means that in an alarm situation staff can concentrate on finding the specific wanderer without interfering with other residents' freedom. WatchMate also supports central reporting and can be interfaced with a variety of other security systems.
