COVID-19 Triage Healthcare Rapid Response Communications Solution The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged our country and the world into a healthcare crisis. We are faced with the reality that there simply are not enough hospital beds, supplies or healthcare providers to serve the anticipated wave of patients that will be diagnosed and admitted to hospitals in the coming days, weeks and months. As a nation, we face the need to therefore prepare and find alternative facilities and delivery methods to care for and aid our citizens in their recovery.

Ascom, a global solutions provider focused on healthcare ICT and mobile workflow solutions, has partnered with Carousel Industries and RingCentral, industry leaders in technology and communications, in an effort to assist our local, state and federal agencies to accelerate care in these situations. Together, we developed the COVID-19 Triage Healthcare Rapid Response Communication Solution - to aid in the rapid deployment of critical communications systems in temporary medical facilities. This solution will enable healthcare systems to quickly triage patients and help optimize recovery outcome in alternative locations such as repurposed hotels, gymnasiums, schools, and field hospitals.

Our design includes installation of a cloud-based, HITRUST CSF certified unified communications system, which supports use within HIPAA-compliant environments and enables clinicians to securely communicate via video, voice, text, or chat - while staying mobile and at the patient’s bedside. In re-purposed facilities such as a hotel, the solution would utilize existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to deploy the cloud voice communication solution. Ascom mobile handsets will be delivered with the RingCentral communications application pre-loaded so that physicians and clinicians working onsite can begin immediate communications.

As clinicians treat patients, all team members can view the presence of who is online and choose the type of communication. Bluetooth features also enable completely hands-free communications and the handsets are purpose-built for healthcare to withstand the strongest disinfection on the market. Unlike consumer-grade mobile handsets, Ascom healthcare devices are tested with cleaning and disinfection products that adhere to stringent cleaning protocols. Finally, managed services are included in the model for a proactive approach to insure that your communications platform will run without the need for an IT team.

The COVID-19 Rapid Response model can be deployed rapidly – in days versus weeks. Training is minimal, as the mobile handsets resemble consumer smartphones and are intuitive and simple to use. Together with Carousel Industries and RingCentral,
