Aspirus Simplifies Operating Room Paging with InformaCast Notification System

Aspirus Healthcare serves 60,000 people in central Wisconsin and northern Michigan through eight hospitals and more than 40 clinics.

Business Challenge:

Aspirus Healthcare was renovating its operating rooms and did not have a plan for incorporating its intercoms for overhead paging. It was also facing obstacles from its legacy paging system, which needed to be replaced. The facility needed a simple notification system for communicating with medical staff while not sharing sensitive pages with patient families.

Solution:

Aspirus turned to its existing Cisco phones to enable InformaCast notification and alert software for pre-recorded paging. This provided a cost effective means to establish standardized paging procedures throughout the hospital, and designated zones so certain pages are only heard in specific areas.

What I like most is the usability of InformaCast. It has a simple user interface and works without complications.

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 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 provided us with a unified system with ease of management that allows us to even communicate with the baseball field and the weightlifting room wirelessly.

… 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.
