Secure, Closed-Loop, Critical Communications
Overview and Benefits
The AtHoc IWS suite transforms the healthcare organization’s IP network into a powerful, closed-loop, multi-modal notification and communication solution for physical security and continuity of operations during clinical system outages. Harnessing mobility, cloud, and IP technology, AtHoc’s advanced solutions bring enterprise-class, end-to-end crisis communication to healthcare organizations locally and across widely dispersed geographic regions.
- Protect Visiting Home Health Nurses with Smartphone Duress/Panic Button
Each home health nurse now has a smartphone panic button for urgent, single-click alerts to the hospital’s operations center for real-time location tracking and rapid emergency response. The AtHoc mobile application gives personal security and peace of mind to clinical staff. - Maintain Clinical Operations During System Outages
When a clinical system is down, IT staff can quickly notify all personnel via any device with system status information or access instructions to back-up systems. The AtHoc system helps maintain vital continuity of business operations and allows time for IT personnel to focus on priority issues. - Reduce staffing costs by automating shift availability notices to key personnel in closed-loop communications, quickly and efficiently filling shifts, saving time and resources.
The AtHoc IWS suite’s mass interaction capacity generates a data-rich, 2-way flow of communication. Using AtHoc’s mobile application, healthcare personnel can send multimedia information from the scene of the incident directly to facility operations. Collaborative tools offer universal 360° visibility into any incident, bringing the same situational knowledge, awareness, and understanding to multiple teams or targeted personnel for a coordinated response and rapid crisis control and resolution.
