Description

During the most critical moments in life, Pulsara® places the power in your hands to build teams and communicate with public safety, public health, and emergency management on the fly. Pulsara unites distributed teams—first responders, emergency medical services, fire departments, hospitals, health systems, behavioral health experts, emergency management, and more—on one scalable communication and logistics platform. From the routine EMS transport to a mass casualty incident, Pulsara’s flexible platform enables teams to standardize workflows and streamline communications for every method of arrival and patient or event type. The result? Decreased treatment times, providers who are empowered to provide better quality of care, reduced provider burnout, and cost and resource savings.

In an age when smartphones and mobile technology are used for just about everything, many health systems rely on fax machines, pagers, two-way radios, landline phone calls, and even sticky notes to coordinate patient care. Vital information often falls through the cracks, leading to wasted resources, delayed treatments, decreased quality of care, and billions of dollars lost annually due to medical errors.

Unlike other solutions that only connect people within the four walls of their own facility or organization, Pulsara can connect ANYONE from ANYWHERE for ANY condition or event, enabling true systems of care that scale. Purpose-built to improve the lives of people in need and those who serve them, Pulsara streamlines all logistics and communication around patient events.

Simply CREATE a dedicated patient channel. BUILD the team. And COMMUNICATE & TRACK using audio, live video, instant messaging, data, images, and key benchmarks, all using the devices you and your teams know and love. You can add a new organization, team, or individual to any encounter, dynamically building a care team as the patient condition and location evolve. And when disaster strikes, Pulsara scales to manage incidents and events, allowing your teams to use the same familiar platform to respond to major incidents the same way they would a routine call. No matter what the situation is, Pulsara connects the right people at the right time, around every patient.

At Pulsara, we live by the phrase “It’s About People.” We see our customers as partners in a journey committed to improving the lives of every person they serve. By leveraging innovative communication features through the Pulsara platform, customers across the globe have improved patient outcomes, including:

* In Texas, a hospital decreased the time it takes for stroke patients to receive tPA by 59%, dropping from an average of 110 minutes to 46 minutes

* In an Australian health system, the ambulance routinely bypasses the emergency department to take patients directly to CT in 7 minutes on average, down 68% from a 22-minute average

* A health system in Arkansas treated STEMI patients in an average of 63 minutes, a 19% decrease in just 4 months

* An EMS agency in Texas used Pulsara to power their ET3 program and in just 3 weeks, prevented 434 low-acuity patients from needing to go to the hospital

* An EMS agency in Texas reported that when using Pulsara for a full-scale crisis exercise, they had 100% accountability for all patients transported

Connected teams have the power to achieve incredible results by bringing the focus back to what matters most: people.

PULSARA IMPROVES PATIENT CARE!

As the Physician Medical Director for a large urban EMS system and its surrounding rural county EMS agencies I can attest that PULSARA improves patient care.
The ability to seamlessly connect all relevant patient care participants in a streamlined efficient communication platform that begins right from patient contact with EMS is an impressive and powerful tool for improving patient care.
In my city and healthcare systems we currently use Pulsara to activate STEMI/Stroke alerts from the field allowing our registration, ER, neurology, radiology, and Neuro-interventional teams to activate cath labs, CT protocols, etc. The entire patient continuum of care team is aware of the patient within minutes of EMS arrival. This ensures that the appropriate patients have Cardiac Cath Lab activations(cardiology review EKG before arrival to ER), neurology at bedside on arrival to ER(expidited tpa decisions), CT imaging, and Neuro interventional available upon arrival to the hospital.
We have drastically improved our door to needle times in these time sensitive critically ill patients.

If your EMS agency, community, or hospital healthcare system struggles with communication between the EMS teams in the field and the hospital based care teams you should give PULSARA a look!

Game changer

I knew Pulsara would impact our workflow from the moment I saw it. I brought Pulsara to my organization, but now I’m an active user on the direct care side. The power of Pulsara is real. When communication is directed through one channel, focused on the patient, care is improved - not only in speed, but in safety as well. Cataloging the communication steps clear through the cases identifies opportunities for improvement along the way. Change is hard - but let me tell you from first hand experience after now using Pulsara, this tool has the power to improve patient care in numerous ways. Last but certainly not least - the Pulsara team makes themselves available to you essentially around the clock (and I’m not talking about the technically support number). I’m looking forward to being part of witnessing how this communication platform continues to improve patient and care giver experience! Thank you Pulsara!

Vast Improvement in Patient Outcomes

Our hospital system and EMS agencies began using this app years ago. Since Pulsara has been implemented, we have seen vast improvements in patient outcomes. From time time the case is activated from EMS through the final disposition, door to balloon and door to needle times have dropped 30-40%! The streamlined communication offered through the app allows all members of the team to see real time updates regarding the patient and can better tailor the treatment for the patients. The app also allows all members of the team to have closure on what occurred with this patient. The Cardiologists in our system now rely on this app for all patient cases and communication. Also, the customer service for Pulsara is fantastic! They are always quick to reply and assist with any situation! Pulsara has been amazing for our organization as well as our patients and community!
