Smart Healthcare: Resource Mobilization

implyCast offers the Hospital Resource Mobilization use case. This use case allows healthcare facilities to utilize a highly efficient system that uses emergency communication automation to contact staff quickly when more is needed or to receive essential resources promptly. By creating emergency plans with staff schedules, healthcare facilities can easily call in on-call staff during urgent situations without stepping away for long periods.

Healthcare facilities encounter various challenges when trying to mobilize resources during emergencies. Common issues include communication delays, long wait times to receive resources, the need for staff to leave their duties during emergencies, and difficulties in identifying available personnel. To combat these challenges, SimplyCast provides the Resource Mobilization use case to improve the resource mobilization process greatly. 

The resource mobilization use case offers many advantages for healthcare facilities, enhancing their operational efficiency and responsiveness in critical situations. Some of the prominent benefits include: 

•  Optimized Staff Mobilization: Healthcare facilities can significantly improve staff mobilization by leveraging an advanced alert system. This system ensures that additional staff can be called in swiftly and efficiently whenever needed, especially during unexpected surges or emergencies.  
• Prompt Resource Allocation: This use case facilitates the rapid allocation of resources by guaranteeing that notifications are quickly dispatched and received by the necessary staff. This expedited communication process ensures that resources, whether medical supplies or personnel, are deployed as swiftly as possible, minimizing delays in patient care.  
• Enhanced Emergency Preparedness: This use case is crucial in improving a facility's preparedness for emergencies. Streamlining communication and resource allocation processes helps ensure that healthcare facilities are better equipped to handle unexpected situations, thereby improving patient outcomes and safety.  
• Efficient Tracking of Key Resources: It also introduces a systematic approach to tracking vital resources within the facility. This capability allows for real-time monitoring of essential supplies and personnel, ensuring they are always adequately stocked and available when needed, thus preventing shortages and optimizing patient care. 

This use case enables staff to send alerts through various communication channels, such as text messages, emails, and phone calls. 

The Resource Mobilization use case utilizes many innovative digital features that enable it to transform how healthcare facilities receive additional resources in emergencies. 

1. Plan mobilization: This use case first allows you to create entirely digitized emergency plans, including automated communications. When creating emergency plans, you may create categories to plan and specify which staff and resources are needed for specific emergencies. These emergency plan templates then allow you to launch a staff recall alert at a moment's notice.  
2. Staff recall: During an emergency, alerts may be sent to all staff or specified categories of staff to call them in. Notifications can be sent using multiple communication channels to help ensure they are received successfully. Responses may be tracked in real-time within a command dashboard and then automatically deactivated once the required number of staff has been confirmed. 
3. On-Call Scheduling: The On-Call scheduling feature allows you to apply staff schedules into the system to verify who is on call each day. This allows you to send notifications specifically to those who are on call first. 

Through these dynamic features, this use case can significantly enhance resource mobilization, ensuring that all required resources can be met during emergency situations.
