Code Red: Hospital Fire Emergency

A guide to using automation to streamline the response to fires at hospitals.

Challenge

When a fire alarm is pulled, hospitals have to evacuate quickly. A fire is a situation that can make the best of us panic or forget important information. This means that hospitals' code red emergencies require a fast, organized response. Hospital staff need to determine the best course of action and take action efficiently.

Solution

SimplyDigital Hospital offers the Hospital Code Red use case, a process which uses automation to keep fire emergency responses organized and efficient. Automated code red alerts can help keep control and remind people of procedure at a hospital.

Hospital fire response automation is a key part of fire safety. Automation can be used as another layer on top of fire protection systems. Ensuring these emergencies can be communicated even when standard fire detection and fire alarm systems are limited.

Steps to Success

  1. Launch pre-defined emergency response plans.
  2. Send alerts to all staff members, notifying them of the emergency.
  3. Use reports to review statistics of emergency messages.
