How Intrado OneAlert™ Elevates Safety and Communication in Healthcare Facilities

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.
