Medical Center to Team with Everbridge to Implement Multiple Products
to Improve Critical Communications Processes
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2016--
Everbridge,
Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG), a global software company that provides critical
communications and enterprise safety applications to help keep people
safe and businesses running, today announced that Penn
State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has selected
Everbridge to improve emergency preparedness, coordination and system
wide communications. The Medical Center will be deploying several of
Everbridge’s products, covering both emergency and operational
communications, including Mass Notification, Incident Communications,
Desktop Alerting and IT Alerting™.
“Our employees and the people we serve rely on us to keep them safe,
secure and informed of critical events at all times,” said Scott
Mickalonis, emergency preparedness program manager at the Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center. “Everbridge’s expertise in helping organizations
manage the complexity of emergency, operational and IT incident
communications will help us be better prepared in the face of clinical,
natural or man-made events.”
The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is a 500+ bed medical center that
provides high quality medical care to the surrounding communities, while
serving as a setting for educational and research programs. The center
is staffed by approximately 500 full-time faculty physicians, 52
residency and fellowship programs, and over 560 residents and fellows.
The Medical Center will be implementing the following Everbridge
products to improve critical communications across the organization:
-
Mass
Notification – this application will be utilized to send emergency
notifications to senior management and employees across multiple
devices and contact paths during clinical and non-clinical codes and
emergencies. The Desktop Alerting product will also be used to
distribute emergency alerts directly to the desktops of employees, to
help improve response time and ensure that important messages are
being received when every second counts.
-
Incident
Communications – this product will be deployed to automate
communication workflows and create messaging templates, since relying
on manual incident response outreach efforts can lead to missed
recipients, incomplete notifications and delayed response times.
-
IT
Alerting – this application will be rolled out to help improve
coordination around IT outages and incidents by ensuring that the
right information is shared with the correct IT team members. The
organization will implement the ServiceNow
connector to synchronize its ITSM contacts and groups with IT
Alerting.
The center is also planning to integrate Everbridge with signage
throughout the hospital to improve real-time alerting during incidents
when staff needs to be immediately made aware of emergencies, such as an
active shooter or disease outbreak.
“With over 11,000 employees and more than 28,000 patients admitted each
year, it is crucial that the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center utilizes
the latest emergency and incident management technology,” said Jaime
Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “The most important part of being prepared
for a potential crisis is knowing how you will share information with
decision-makers, staff and patients alike – so it can be done quickly
and easily when the situation arises. With Everbridge in place, the
center can automate this process, helping to connect all of these
parties and keep them informed in near real-time.”
Everbridge serves over 800 hospitals, and over 3,000 total customers,
including many communities and organizations in Pennsylvania, such as
the Cities of Harrisburg and Philadelphia, the Southeast PA Task Force
and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
