Medical Center to Team with Everbridge to
Implement Multiple Products to Improve Critical Communications
Processes
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.
