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.
