Code Grey: Utility Loss Emergency

Handle utility outages at hospitals more effectively with the help of automated tools.

Challenge

Hospitals' code grey response is most significantly about communication. Informing staff and other key stakeholders about the utility loss and any actions they need to take comes first.

Hospitals face a few more challenges when it comes to managing code grey emergencies. Most notably actively monitoring the effects of the utility loss and ensuring critical care is maintained.

 

Solution

SimplyDigital Hospital offers the Code Grey use case, a system which allows hospitals to alert their staff when utilities go down. Administrators can then reach out to hospital staff to find out what effects the utility loss has had. From there, they can seek out solutions to those problems and ensure patients stay safe.

The solution makes it easy to launch an emergency management dashboard designed for utility loss situations. It also leverages several communication methods so that even if one or several are down, communication can still be maintained.

Steps to Success

  1. Send alerts to all staff when needed, or a subset of available on-call staff.
  2. Ensure relevant groups are made aware of a utility loss.
  3. Analyze reports during incident review.
