New White Paper: The Power of Automated Messaging for Emergency Notification & Business Continuity

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) November 20, 2014

The leading provider of Emergency & Mass Communication solutions, Regroup, has released an authoritative new white paper: “The Power of Automated Messaging for Emergency Notification & Business Continuity.”

Download Regroup’s paper by visiting: http://bit.ly/1xsOj57

This document is a must read for any organization that has ever experienced:

1. Critical and/or non-critical alerts being delayed, inaccurate or not sent due to human error

2. Severe weather alerts not being delivered fast enough during time-sensitive events such as tornado warnings

3. Loss of business continuity due to personnel not being alerted quickly to issues that caused operational disruptions, such as low inventory levels, IT related issues or power outages

Readers will learn how automated messaging can reduce the margin for human error, increase efficiency levels and productivity during day-to-day operations, and dramatically accelerate delivery of critical and non-critical notifications.

Through use cases, Regroup illustrates how automated messaging will empower organizations to:


Enhance employee safety by accelerating the delivery of emergency notifications and severe weather alerts by leveraging federal alerting technology including IPAWS and NWS/NOAA, resulting in a quicker response time.

Maintain business continuity by enabling appropriate personnel to receive event-triggered alerts like staff schedule changes, low inventory levels, IT security breaches and power outages.

Increase productivity and enhance efficiency levels by automating routine, day-to-day messages, freeing up manpower and reducing the margin for human error.

Easily configure automated messages to be sent to cell phones, landlines, email, desktop alert systems, digital signage, PA systems, outdoor speakers, websites and more.

Palomar Health Now Testing DIRECT Messaging Technology for Secure Exchange of Patient Information among Health Care Providers

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

Palomar Health, the largest health care district in California, is piloting a clinical messaging infrastructure that enables the secure exchange of electronic health record information across its 2,200-square mile trauma area in Southern California.

The system uses the DIRECT Project’s protocols for secure messaging and the HPDPlus specifications for online physician directories, which have been proposed as national standards to facilitate secure patient data exchange among independent health care providers.

The participating health care organizations include all three Palomar Health hospitals- the new Palomar Medical Center and Palomar Health Downtown Campus in Escondido and Pomerado Hospital in Poway, in addition to Arch Health Partners, the Arthritis Care and Research Center, Escondido Pulmonology Medical Group, Graybill Medical Group, North County Internists, and Palomar Medical Group. The outpatient facilities range from solo practitioners to large multi-specialty physician groups.

“We believe the potential of the DIRECT Project and HPDPlus standards has yet to be fully realized, and we seek to explore the utility of these standards in our community, as well as explore ways in which they may be improved,” Palomar Health Chief Innovation Officer Orlando Portale said. “In particular, we want to establish a reference model for DIRECT Messaging that could be shared with other healthcare organizations throughout California.”

The technologies being piloted enable the secure electronic delivery of inpatient and emergency department discharge summaries to primary care physicians, as well as the exchange of referral requests and consult notes between primary care physicians and specialists.

“It is exciting to see the first stages of the exchange of health information within our physician and healthcare community,” stated Alan Conrad, M.D., Managing Partner of North County Internists in Poway.

The purpose of the pilot is to assess the feasibility and soundness of the DIRECT and HPDPlus standards as the bases for a practical, cost-effective, and non-proprietary infrastructure for health information exchange (HIE) within and among medical communities, Portale said.

The pilot is primarily funded by a grant from the California Health Care Foundation under a contracting agreement with Sujansky and Associates, both based in Northern California, to provide project management and software integration services. Other organizations that have contributed technology and expertise include GSI Health in Philadelphia, Mirth Corporation in Costa Mesa and Sparseware in Carlsbad.

“This project is a great opportunity for the Palomar Health community and the broader HIE audience to road test the DIRECT Messaging model,” Sujansky and Associates President Walter Sujansky said. “We expect the project to show the value of DIRECT Messaging today, as well as the ways the model may be improved in the future.”
