We’ve already taken a look at what this year’s HIMSS conference has to offer, but there is even more opportunity to see how emergency communication technologies will play an important role in healthcare.
Singlewire will be demonstrating how InformaCast software can transform the communication abilities of healthcare facilities to provide better patient care.
Aspirus in northern Wisconsin deploys InformaCast across its facilities to standardize paging procedures. This has led to faster response times since staff only need to press a button on their Cisco phones to initiate a message.
It worked very successfully. We were able to do a complete lockdown on our whole campus within about five minutes of initiating the alert to people.

… InformaCast is really the glue for our notification - it can pull in email, our phone system, our speaker system, our visible security system, locks, and make it all work together.

InformaCast played a key role in notifying our campus about the water main break and the need to use bottled water. I was able to quickly record a message and send it to the campus from my office at home. Our students commented how effective this was in letting them know what was going on.

InformaCast has a great deal to do with patient safety. It allows us to take better care of our dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.

[InformaCast] is one of our most critical services. Bells and paging are one of the most important things for schools.
