Code Blue: Cardiac Arrest Emergency

A guide to implementing automation in the response to a cardiac arrest emergency.

Challenge

Hospitals' Code Blue incidents involve a medical emergency, typically a cardiac event that requires a quick and efficient response. Additional staff are often necessary, which requires fast communication with the appropriate people when staff have to call a code. 

Solution

SimplyDigital Hospital offers the Code Blue use case, a process which ensures that the required staff are called into action. Hospitals can launch alerts in a way that maximizes efficiency without being resource or time-consuming.

Implementing cardiac arrest emergency automation doesn't mean changing the core response to a sudden cardiac arrest. The main goal is to ensure hospital staff are able to find the necessary care providers as quickly as possible.

Steps to Success

  1. Send alerts to all staff and emergency contacts using a premade templated message.
  2. Ensure all necessary staff are made aware of the code blue as soon as possible.
  3. Synchronizes digital tools for maximum efficiency.
