[UPCOMING WEBINAR] Leveraging Technology in Hazard Response: Advancements and Future Trends

How today’s emergency management and healthcare leaders are using modern tech for patient tracking and response management around pre-planned events and major incidents

Efficient communication is critical during mass casualty incidents, hurricane evacuations, MVAs with multiple patients, or even special events. Historically, the difficulty in sharing information between various responding organizations during hazard events has made incident management challenging—not to mention when the incident extends across cities, regions, or states. New advancements in communication and patient tracking technology are transforming response capabilities, however—quickly becoming the new standard for emergency management. 

Join this exclusive roundtable discussion where Texas and Colorado emergency management and healthcare leaders will share:

• How and why they are deploying these systems locally and statewide
• The benefits and opportunities they’re seeing
• Where they see the future of emergency management communication and coordination heading 

Guest Presenters: 

• Hilary Watt, CEO/CFO/Governmental Affairs, Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council (CBRAC) in Corpus Christi, TX.
• E. Stein Bronsky, MD, Co-Chief Medical Director, Colorado Springs Fire Department, Co-Chief Medical Director, El Paso County, CO American Medical Response (AMR), and Medical Director, El Paso-Teller County 911 Authority in the Colorado Springs, CO area.

Hosts:

• Kate Leatherby, Sales VP - West at Pulsara
• Brandon Means, VP of Medical Operations at Pulsara.

Top takeaways include: 

• How the use of local and statewide wristbands in coordination with Pulsara’s communication and logistics platform for every patient type is improving patient handoffs, patient tracking, and reunification. 
• The multiple benefits of using the same communication platform for hazard events as you do for everyday patient transports, transfers, and transitions of care. 
• How implementing these systems on the infrastructural level for regions or states can standardize how care teams and organizations coordinate with public health, safety, and emergency management—improving communication, coordination, load balancing, and patient tracking around any hazard event.
