Problems Solved for Hospitals Emergency Management By their very nature, healthcare institutions are often in the forefront of many emergency situations. At such times PASS becomes a crucial communication tool providing “just-in-time” specific instructions to staff, patients and the public. This is particularly true when dealing with patient alarms, cardiac arrests, disturbed persons and infant abductions. A powerful feature of the system is its ability to rapidly distribute audio/visual images of a suspected abductor, intruder or missing patient together with instructions for dealing with the scenario, segregated appropriately for staff and public. Improved Patient Safety  PASS can display critical process and procedural information including patient alarm data (e.g. “Code Blue”) alerts, notifications and warnings to ensure that appropriate interventions and actions occur in a timely and accountable manner. PASS is likewise a highly effective way to display medication alerts, allergy warnings and special patient circumstances to nursing staff that may save lives. Cost Containment Bulletin boards and memos are not cost effective ways of getting time critical information to staff, visitors and patients. PASS allows the reduction or replacement of cumbersome, time-consuming and inefficient paper and e-mail processes with a robust, real-time communications alternative. PASS can expedite the posting of computer virus attacks against the network, thus saving countless hours of lost productivity and IT overload. Patient Visitor and Physician Satisfaction Well-informed hospital customers are more likely to use and refer friends and colleagues to a facility that provides them with state-of-the art digital information services like PASS. The system can readily provide dynamic maps and way-finding assistance, clinic and pharmacy hours, entertainment events, facility updates and other hospital services. Patient & Visitor Education  PASS can provide the hospital audience with notices regarding up-coming wellness seminars, disease management guidelines, life-style tips, medication instructions, library, on-line resources and much more. Staff Education A well-informed staff is more efficient and responsive. PASS may be used for immediate in-service training, nursing competency review, educational events, policy and procedure updates and telephone call lists.
