"check out" SafeCheckIn will monitor their absence until the member
"checks in" again. If the member is overdue then SafeCheckIn will
attempt to contact the member to update their status. If SafeCheckIn
cannot reach the member, it contacts the people that the member has
designated as emergency contacts. FULL ARTICLE @ NEWSWIRE
