1. Create Patient Channel
“With Pulsara, EMS activates [the stroke team via Pulsara] and we have the entire team ready in the ER, we have all the information we need. We just scan the patient and make a decision. We can tell a lot from the app: if they’re an IV tPA candidate or if we can cancel the stroke early, for example, if the patient resolves en-route to the hospital.”
“We’re getting great feedback ... and we’ve noticed that during dual process, we’re getting Pulsara alerts sometimes MINUTES before our old 811 pager system.”

Associate Nurse Manager “Now with Pulsara ... we are able to pre-register the patients, so stroke patients can go directly to CT on arrival.”
Janet May
Stroke Coordinator “With Pulsara, EMS activates [the stroke team via Pulsara] and we have the entire team ready in the ER, we have all the information we need. We just scan the patient and make a decision. We can tell a lot from the app: if they’re an IV tPA candidate or if we can cancel the stroke early, for example, if the patient resolves en-route to the hospital.”
Wendy Barrilleaux
Stroke Program Director “Communication is there all the time, You don’t have to worry about getting a missed phone call or the ER thinking we’re ready when we're not. The app helps us notify everyone at the same time what’s going on. It alerts us even before the patient’s here. We can get our room and our table ready for the patient. It’s also eliminating multiple phone calls back and forth to doctors and the ER.”
Abby Werner
Lead CT Tech "Time is critical in these cases and creating teams who are all notified concurrently and respond to assist in the care of these patients is a game changer for our facility. We are excited with the results we have seen so far."
Carolyn Cook, RN MBA MNSc
ED Director Stroke cases evolve quickly, and the instant you determine your patient is eligible for thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy, you need the power to connect with the neurologist and interventionalist in real time — regardless of whether they’re at your facility or one across the state.
Dynamically build your team to include everyone you need, right when you need them. (Pulsara is a stroke app, STEMI app, trauma app, sepsis app, and more — all in one!).
How is your current case performing relative to national standards and facility averages? Pulsara provides the tools you need to measure your performance, and equips your team to make actionable plans to improve.
With Pulsara, you can:
Collect the data you need on one dashboard, regardless of patient method of arrival
Evaluate the data with motivating benchmarks
Identify opportunities for improvement
Standardize and communicate your goals to your entire team in a meaningful way during the case.
Using Pulsara’s HIPAA-compliant live video capabilities, medics and specialists can connect in real time with the app to ensure appropriate destination hospital selection and resource mobilization. Clinicians can even consult with other hospitals and facilitate a transfer via live video communication.
Using Pulsara PATIENT you can connect directly with the patient. Send patients a text inviting them to a secure video consultation. That way, you can meet the patient wherever they are.
Loud and clear. Can’t find the short form left by EMS? With Pulsara, everyone on the care team has instant access and knows right where to find it.
Allowing clinicians to record, save, and share audio clips empowers them to:
Ahh, the sound of clarity.
Guess what? We did it, and we made it HIPAA-compliant. With Pulsara, your team can communicate instantly through secure text messaging. No more telephone tag trying to figure out where the patient is and when they’ll arrive; with everyone in the same communication channel, it’s easy to update the entire team with a quick text. Message templates allow you to send status notifications without having to spend the time typing it out. And as a bonus, everything is timestamped and comes with read notifications.
Most transfer centers function as a switchboard, connecting people via phone calls. But have you ever had a case where the patient’s condition evolved and that change was never communicated? Ever wished you had video call capabilities when doing an interfacility consult or transferring a patient?
With Pulsara, you can instantly arrange a real-time consult with any other clinician, and transfer your patient with just a few app taps. If something changes along the way, the whole team can be notified — instantly. PLUS, our Consult/Transfer feature unifies data and timestamps across organizations. Life at the transfer center just got a whole lot simpler.
Whether it’s an image of a patient, a driver's license, or a medication list directly from the bedside, Pulsara’s certified, HIPAA-compliant platform allows you to take pictures of relevant information and send it — to anyone on your care team — instantly and securely. The hospital can begin pre-registering the patient before they even arrive. Physicians can get a more complete picture of the patient’s condition throughout their journey. And since nothing is stored on the device, you can rest assured that the patient’s protected health information is safe and secure.
Today’s problems require today’s technology. That’s why Pulsara was built on an open API infrastructure, in preparation for its robust integration road map. With Pulsara, the integration possibilities are endless.
Replace the radio report, expand your scope of practice, and more.
One way to communicate with all other clinicians and organizations.
From disasters to pandemics, coordinate resources with ease.
