A suspicious person posing as a “baby healer” was spotted at a
Children’s Hospital.
How ReddiNet Helped
Quick-thinking staff knew how these criminals operated. They
would show up at other area hospitals looking for a baby to
kidnap. Immediately, the staff at Children’s Hospital
alerted surrounding hospitals and counties through a
ReddiNet broadcast message containing a description of the
suspect. The very next day, another medical center in a
neighboring county responded that someone matching the
description was seen in their facility. Law enforcement was
called and apprehended the criminal.
A homeless person, monitored by a Public Health Department for an
infectious disease, went missing.
How ReddiNet Helped
The local EMS Agency sent a message through ReddiNet alerting
hospitals to report this patient, if found. A medical center in a
neighboring county responded to the message by reviewing its
patients. The patient had been brought to their hospital and was
safe. The medical center notified the responsible Public
Health Department. The case was transferred to the neighboring
county’s Public Health Department, ensuring ongoing tracking and
preventing the spread of disease.

Partnering with local military is very important to ReddiNet,
because military bases and hospitals may have to respond during a
major disaster. Including them in the same communication network
with local first responders is essential. One of the ways our
local military get to practice on ReddiNet is through the March
Air Force Base Air Show in Riverside County,
California. Each year emergency medical management tests a
variety of ReddiNet functions, including MCIs. Preparations
for the show include a pre-event drill with ReddiNet, hospital,
EMS, and base personnel to assess emergency systems and
procedures. As all military and civilian first responders
know, it is crucial to be prepared for any type of medical
emergency. ReddiNet serves as the central data repository to
facilitate communications and resource management before and
during the event.
