AtHoc to Provide Medical Center with the Emergency Network-Notification to Quickly Alert Personnel Regarding Emergency Situations and Provide Instructions for Action 
BURLINGAME, Ca. --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- March 27, 2007 – AtHoc, Inc. today announced Wilford Hall Medical Center has deployed AtHoc IWSAlerts to quickly reach personnel regarding emergency situations.
The Medical Control Center at Wilford Hall fills the critical role of keeping in touch with Lackland’s base command center to track emergency situations. The Medical Control Center serves as the eyes and ears for the medical community, and if an emergency situation arises, the group is responsible for alerting Wilford Hall personnel. When an emergency situation arises, the Medical Control Center uses AtHoc IWSAlerts to alert the more than 5,000 computers distributed across the five-building medical facility.
AtHoc worked with the Wilford Hall team to help tailor custom alerts for the hospital. Now the Medical Control Center team can create alerts for any type of scenario and determine which personnel should be alerted with instructions for action. The team continues to actively build its library of emergency scenarios for situations ranging from water contamination to pending weather conditions.
In addition to providing the ability for Wilford Hall to alert personnel with information regarding emergencies identified by the base command center, AtHoc IWSAlerts can be configured to pull feeds from numerous data sources, including the Center for Disease Control and the National Weather Service. Wilford Hall can elect to use these feeds to enhance its emergency notification capabilities further in the future.
“Wilford Hall fulfills an incredibly important mission for the Air Force. Effectively protecting the medical center, its personnel and patients depends heavily on situational awareness,” said Guy Miasnik, president and CEO of AtHoc. “Regardless of the type of emergency scenario – whether military or medical – Wilford Hall can provide alerts to its staff with specific instructions for action based upon the scenario and the recipient’s role within the organization. This level of granularity in the alerting process can help Wilford Hall contain and combat emergency situations.”
