Pulsara Version 10.1 Features Critical Alerting Improvements [Press Release]

iOS Notifications Grouped per Patient

iOS 12 Critical Alerts

We’ve often heard from our customers that they have challenges managing push notifications on their iPhones when they are on call during the night, and trying to get some sleep. The story goes something like this …

• I want to have Pulsara alerts wake me up from my sleep

• BUT, I also want to silence push notifications from non-critical apps like email, text messages, and social media. I don’t want that ingenuous “Happy Birthday” message from my “friends” on Facebook to wake me up at 1 AM.

• I can’t turn on the iPhone’s Do Not Disturb mode, or I’ll miss Pulsara alerts.

• HOWEVER, if I leave my phone off of Do Not Disturb, then I get bleeps and bloops for emails, texts, and new Candy Crush levels.

• AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

• So, I compromise and put my phone’s volume at about 50% and have a somewhat restless night’s sleep. Thanks, Pulsara.

WE FEEL YOUR PAIN! And, we’ve got a solution. Meet Critical Alerts.

With Pulsara’s Critical Alerts feature turned ON, you can enable Do Not Disturb mode on your phone and ONLY Pulsara alerts will play an audible sound. This basically puts your phone into a “pager mode” for Pulsara alerts. This is also the ONLY time you’ll ever see us compare Pulsara to a pager ...

NOTE: this does not yet apply to EMS medics because they don’t receive primary alerts from Pulsara

New Team Auto-Assignment Events for Stroke and Trauma

We’ve heard feedback from several customers that they’d like to automatically assign certain teams when key events happen in their Stroke or Trauma workflows.

For example:

1. Automatically assign the Radiologist when CT Complete is toggled.

2. Automatically assign the IR team when a stroke patient is identified as having a Large Vessel Occlusion, and is a candidate for endovascular treatment.

3. Automatically assign all Trauma teams when a patient is identified as a Level I Trauma

Coming soon, Pulsara is adding some additional assignment events that allow for this kind of increased flexibility in your automatic team assignment workflows.

Patient Age Improvements

Thanks as always for your incredible feedback, which continues to help us make Pulsara better, faster, and stronger.
