Incident Management with Pulsara

In the midst of a stress event, care teams need the ability to connect the right people at the right time. We're releasing new Incident Management functionality that allows EMS and emergency management to triage and track patients during events like MCIs/MPIs, and to notify hospitals about patients coming from these Incidents.

What's new

• Hospitals and other healthcare organizations can view patients that are being transported to their facility during an incident and receive advance notification of incoming patients

• Hospitals can view or update patient condition via color-coded triage tags (green, yellow, red, and black) in the HQ patient list

• Hospitals can view the name of the Incident a patient is involved in via the Triage section at the top of the patient channel

• Hospitals can indicate their availability to receive patients from an Incident

• Clinicians can scan patient wristbands to create new patient channels or locate existing ones, allowing for easy updating as patient care continues at your facility

Who’s impacted

• EMS/Ambulance crews
• Hospital team members managing incoming EMS patients

Why you’d use it

• Leverage the same tool you use every day for patient communication and logistics to communicate during a stress event

• Respond to incidents with a united front by enabling communication between all responding parties

• Manage patient inflows based on condition

• Provide better responsiveness in complicated situations like MCI/MPIs
