Key Challenges
According to Jeanie Taylor, Telecommunications System Support Specialist for Southern Ohio Medical Center, the rurally located healthcare system needed a flexible mass notification system that could wear many hats. “We were looking for a mass notification system for on-call staff, codes and emergencies.
Most of the systems we looked at were very ‘cookie cutter’ and offered us no customized options,” she said. “We really needed the flexibility to create customized lists as well as custom list managers. Before we talked to Jerry Geis, these options were off the table for us.”
