Flexible Messaging

ReddiNet® provides reliable, secure messaging between all the facilities that participate in your healthcare system:

• acute care hospitals
• regional EMS coordinators
• pharmacies
• paramedics
• dispatch centers
• public health departments
• state and federal agencies
• law enforcement

Using ReddiNet, time-sensitive information can quickly and easily be distributed throughout the regional healthcare system and, if necessary, through neighboring systems. Information requests can be sent to multiple facilities simultaneously, drastically reducing time spent on the phone.

These are some of the ways that ReddiNet's flexible messaging system is put to work:

• Using ReddiNet, forward bulletins from the CDC to emergency medical staff and infection control departments throughout the regional system.

• EMS coordinators incorporate communications through ReddiNet into their regional disaster preparedness drills.

• ReddiNet provides critical inter-facility communication when hospital phone systems go down or hospital infrastructure is damaged.

• Law enforcement officials use ReddiNet to alert hospital emergency departments about fugitives and missing persons.

• Hospital pharmacies use ReddiNet to quickly locate and secure medications that are in short supply.

• Field commanders use ReddiNet to notify healthcare facilities about the status of multiple casualty incidents and their likely impact on emergency and trauma facilities.

Other uses for ReddiNet's flexible messaging are continually being adopted. And, because ReddiNet's messaging does not rely solely on the Internet or e-mail, it is less susceptible to hacking attacks, computer viruses and worms, as well as being free of spam.
