From Emergency Situations to Routine Communications

Join Clarinda Regional Health Center and others across the country by responding to incidents quickly with CodeRED. Assemble first responders, notify staff with instructions and perhaps most importantly, maintain a sense of calm by simply keeping people informed. The CodeRED system is easy to implement and can be used for routine communications, such as filling open shifts and providing department announcements, in addition to use in emergency situations.Recently two farmers covered with ammonia arrived at the Emergency Room directly from the field. CodeRED was used to call staff in to quickly wash/ remove the ammonia from their bodies and both men were able to walk away from the incident virtually unharmed thanks to their speedy response. Seconds truly count when you are dealing with potentially life-threatening injuries. Noting that emergencies can occur at any time, Wainwright appreciates the ability to easily reach on call staff no matter where they are, “not having to rely on a traditional calling tree is a huge benefit of the CodeRED system, it frees up staff to focus on helping our patients especially after normal business hours when staffing is low.”
