Cambridge Health Alliance Selects Amcom Software's E.Notify(TM) Emergency Notification System; Automates Public Health Communications and Disaster Recovery Procedures

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 September 2006, 06:00 CDT

Cambridge Health Alliance today announced that it has selected e.Notify(TM) emergency notification software from Amcom Software to automate its emergency communications procedures for managing disasters across its multi-hospital network. The new system is HICS (Hospital Incident Command Center)-compliant and supports emergency planning processes for this multi-hospital healthcare system, headquartered in Cambridge, Mass.

"We needed an automated process to help us manage our organizational communications," said Bob Lewis, Director of Networks and Telecommunications for Cambridge Health Alliance. "With e.Notify from Amcom, we will have the tools for training and drilling, which will prepare us for various types of critical events such as weather-related emergencies, bomb threats or a health-related crisis. In the event of a disaster, we'll be ready to communicate quickly and effectively to a mass audience and monitor and measure response."

Cambridge Health Alliance will install e.Notify in all three of its hospitals and will roll out emergency communications procedures across its entire organization. As part of the HICS structure, the software will integrate with communications policies and procedures the hospital already has in place. With e.Notify, the process will be completely automated, handling two-way communications and tracking procedures with both internal and external audiences, including emergency response teams from local municipalities.
