Eliminating Delays in Care for EMS With Pulsara

Time is everything in time-sensitive emergencies. But you don’t need us to tell you that. 

You know that time is tissue. You know that every minute counts, and every minute impacts your patient’s outcome. It’s your job: care for the patient, stabilize them, and transport them to the next stage in their care journey as quickly as possible. 

So why does it sometimes feel like the system isn’t built to support that? 

Delays in care happen for many, many reasons, but they all boil down to one thing: communication. 

We have a lot of different communication technologies that do the job they were meant to do: radios, pagers, phones, and fax machines. But they don’t talk to each other. With every middleman a message travels through, it’s another delay for your patient. And when time is of the essence, it’s essential to make sure that the right information gets to the right person at the right time.

With Pulsara, you have the power to start the flow of information immediately. 

You can send your patient’s vital information from the scene. Hospital staff can see all the information you included about the patient—including their name, age, vitals, and even medications or health history. 

Photos and live video can help tell the patient’s story in more than just words, helping hospital staff see what you see. Not only that, you can connect with way more of the team than just the ED, directly notifying the specialists who will be treating your patient once they’ve cleared the ED. 

You can even speed your patient’s admission to the hospital by sending a photo of their ID to registration before you even leave the scene, allowing your patient to go straight into the cath lab or the CT without having to waste valuable time in registration. 

When everyone is on the same patient channel, they’re on the same page about what’s going on. Hospital staff can see that you’re on the way with your patient and can begin to prepare minutes sooner, ensuring that they’re ready for you when you arrive. 

Pulsara hands you the power to reduce delays for your patients, aligning the team and making sure your information gets to the right person at the right time.
