In healthcare, a delay of even a few seconds can change a patient’s outcome. Hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities rely on fast, accurate communication whether responding to medical codes, coordinating care, or managing emergencies. Intrado OneAlert™ delivers unified, intelligent communication platform designed to enhance operational efficiency and keep both patients and staff safe.
Healthcare facilities often struggle with fragmented communication systems: overhead paging, digital signage, mobile alerts, nurse call systems, and more – each operating independently. This fragmentation not only slows response times but also creates room for error. OneAlert solves this challenge with a centralized web-based platform that unifies emergency alerts, scheduled notifications, and on-premises communication tools into one seamless ecosystem.
A Unified Communication Hub for Healthcare
OneAlert helps healthcare teams manage all communication and safety technologies from a single interface, simplifying operations and reducing workload on staff. This includes:
-
Instant alerts for medical codes – Staff can send building-wide notifications for medical codes and other medical response alerts, ensuring the right personnel are notified through IP phones, mobile devices, overhead speakers, and signage.
-
Integrated paging and overhead announcements – Hospitals rely heavily on clear, reliable paging. OneAlert unifies voice paging and scheduled announcements so that reminders, staff updates, and safety alerts reach every corner of a facility without delay.
-
Smart-building and legacy system integration – Whether a facility uses modern IP speakers, analog amplifiers, or hybrid devices, OneAlert integrates them effortlessly. This allows hospitals to scale or modernize without expensive overhauls.
Supporting Emergency Response and Patient Safety
Healthcare facilities face unique safety risks: violence against staff, patient elopements, infant abductions, fire emergencies, and natural disasters. OneAlert strengthens rapid response by enabling:
-
Real-time emergency notifications - Administrators can trigger lockdowns, evacuation alerts, and facility-wide warnings instantly. Integration with smart-building devices also enables automated alerts for conditions like fire panel activations or environmental alarms.
-
Direct connection to public safety - Healthcare facilities can connect directly to 9-1-1 with precise location data, ensuring first responders receive accurate information immediately. This is critical for sprawling hospital campuses where staff move between buildings.
In a setting where seconds save lives, the system’s ability to accelerate and automate emergency actions is a meaningful leap forward in patient and staff safety.
