New York, NY --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- June 6, 2006 - The Indian Health Service (IHS) today announced that it has selected Send Word Now's Smart Notification Services to ensure compliance with the government-mandated National Incident Management System (NIMS).
IHS, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, provides health services to approximately 1.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to more than 563 federally recognized tribes in 35 states. As the principle federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people it was critical that the agency be able to ensure quick, secure and efficient communication across a distributed workforce. IHS also sought a solution that was compliant with NIMS and required little or no training for their user community.
