Pulsara Event Schedule Update - Winter & 2020 Recap

Autumn & 2020 RECAP

Fall will still be in full swing when this post comes out but winter—which some northern states are already experiencing—is well on its way. What exactly has Team Pulsara been up to since we last connected at the beginning of October? Well...

• We attended, sponsored, and presented webinars at SIX virtual trade shows that took place in Chicago, Toronto, Europe, and Australia. Of note:
  • During Becker's Health IT & Revenue Cycle Virtual Conference in October, Pulsara Vice President of Commercial Operations, Brittany Means, was joined by two amazing guests who presented the session 'Quadruple Aim: How One Telehealth Platform is Changing the Game'. 

• • Pulsara's Western Regional Sales Manager, Greg Brown, (virtually) traveled from Washington to northern Europe for the European Resuscitation Council's Virtual Congress in October. Greg hosted the webinar 'Patient-Centric Emergency Medicine: Why Mobile Team Communication Across Organizations is the New Standard,' in which he told attendees how they can improve acute care team communication and patient outcomes by switching to mobile technology.
  • A first for our teams, Pulsara's Director of Marketing, Hannah Ostrem, and Northeastern Client Services Manager, Scott Stanley, partnered with teams from Latrobe Regional Hospital and Ambulance Victoria out of Australia to present a video case study during the 2020 Australasian Digital Health Institute Summit in November. 
• We were honored with a couple awards:
  • Pulsara received the Business Intelligence Group's BIG Award for Business, and was named a 2020 Small Business of the Year winner. 

• • A few months ago, when our last events blog was published, Pulsara was named one of the 2020 EMS World Innovation Award Finalists for our mobile provider-to-patient product, Pulsara PATIENT. Well, we're happy to say that we were named one of the 2020 EMS World Innovation Award winners.  

• Team Marketing Head Honcho, Kris Kaull, took part in a couple of very different but equally amazing and educational webinars: 
  • HERE Technologies hosted the webinar 'Art of Location: Large Scale Disaster Prevention and Mitigation'. Pulsara Chief Marketing Officer, Kris, joined leaders from FirstWatch and Suntech International USA to discuss overcoming the obstacles of disaster preparedness and mitigation and how to build a culture of preparedness and cross-agency collaboration. 

• • Kris also (virtually) sat down with Brett Lyle of Brett Lyle Coaching and the Emergent Leadership YouTube channel. The duo discussed tangible practices that define and reshape mindsets, daily to-do lists, and lifelong goals and accomplishments. 

As of right now, we don't have any plans to attend trade shows in January. So, we thought we'd share some of our highlights from the crazy year that has been 2020. 

• Our teams worked with six of our clients to share their success stories of how they've used Pulsara to unite EMS and hospital teams, decreased treatment times, streamlined processes, and improved patient care.
• The Development Team released a whopping 11 versions of our platform to date. As we mentioned above, one of those releases included the award winning Pulsara PATIENT product that was released earlier this year to help connect clinicians with their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic (and beyond!).

• Speaking of releases, the Pulsara ONE package was expanded to include all referring healthcare facilities, enabling live video calling, transfer, and consult capabilities. A free COVID-19 package was also released in an effort to help EMS and health care facilities mitigate patient surge, save PPE, and limit exposure to COVID-19. 
• When funding was made available to help EMS agencies and hospitals simultaneously recover from and prep for COVID-19, our teams sprang to action to create a funding initiative to help health systems find and secure funding. 
• Team members across multiple Pulsara functions took part in 7 webinars and 3 podcast episodes. 
• We worked with EMS1 to release the 2020 EMS Trend Report and 10 Things You Need to Know to Save Lives eBook; the company also released the white paper 'Closing the Communication Gap: How a Hospital and EMS System is Reducing Time to Treatment'.
  
  

• Last but not least, we revamped our website to better tell the story of how Pulsara can help EMS, Hospitals & Healthcare Organizations , and MED OPS unite teams when seconds matter.

All in all, 2020 was a whirlwind of a year for everyone. We don't know what 2021 has in store for us but we do know that we must adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines (#MaskUp!) that are in place to help stop the spread of the virus, and help the healthcare teams who have been doing everything in their power to care for those who have gotten COVID-19. Until next year, we hope you and yours have a safe (and socially distanced) holiday season. After all, It's About People.
