OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center Selects the 3n Mass Notification System

GLENDALE, CA –-[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- July 18, 2007 – 3n (National Notification Network), a mass notification system provider, announced OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center has selected 3n's InstaCom Hospitals system to automate emergency staff call-ins in the Emergency Department and Operating Room and for organization-wide crisis communications with employees during a disaster.

Prior to selecting 3n, OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center relied on departmental call trees to disseminate information to its employees.

Adopting the 3n system, which was purchased with a government grant, will enable OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center and other member hospitals in Illinois's EMS Region 1 to efficiently and effectively address emergencies that call for rapid, large-scale communications. Employees of the member health care systems can be reached in critical and time-sensitive situations using a wide range of communication devices.
