Pulsara is a HIPAA-compliant app that unites the entire care team — including EMS, hospital staff, and emergency responders — on a single communication platform. Pulsara gives teams a fast way to create a dedicated channel for each patient, allowing them to enter critical patient information and share it with the right team members at the right time.
With Pulsara, teams can be built on the fly according to each patient's needs. Pulsara alerts the appropriate team members and adds them to the patient's channel, giving ALL team members one way to communicate about their patients. Pulsara can replace pagers, radio reports, faxes, and the many phone calls it takes to coordinate care.
Pulsara's network connects any and all members of the care team, regardless of location or organization. Anyone can use Pulsara to communicate and coordinate logistics around all patients, every day, for every method of arrival. From routine transports to time-sensitive emergencies to major incidents, Pulsara works for every patient you encounter.
The State of Florida has chosen Pulsara to:
Reduce hurdles across the state for care coordination during time-sensitive emergencies, pandemic response, mass casualty incidents, mass gatherings, special events, and natural disasters.
Empower EMS services by enabling treatment-in-place and transport to alternative destinations (i.e., behavioral health, urgent care, substance abuse).
Reduce costs locally, regionally, and statewide during disasters or surge events by coordinating multi-agency response using the same system communities use every day.
Reduce healthcare facility costs during surge, capacity, or resource capability deficits by efficient load balancing and transferring patients across regions and around the state.
Provide the ability to establish a statewide transfer center for rural, underserved regions to assist with bed placement when traditional referral partners are unavailable.
Reduce pressure on local and regional healthcare resources.
Pulsara instantly connects every member of the team across a wide variety of emergency scenarios, making it a choice solution for communication between organizations across entire states.
In Texas, Pulsara enables critical communications across local and state resources for prehospital communication, downstream hospital team communication, system load balancing, incident management, and patient tracking and logistics.
In Arkansas, organizations across the state adopted Pulsara to improve communication for STEMI and stroke patients as part of a statewide initiative to improve treatment times for time-sensitive emergencies. The Arkansas Department of Health recently approved a grant for hospitals statewide to use Pulsara.
Connected teams are the future of emergency response. Florida is among the states leading the charge.
