In addition to exhibiting at three trade shows, Pulsara's SVP - Med Ops, Brandon Means, presented the session, 'Emergency Operations that Scale: Redefining How We Communicate.' at the IAEM Annual Conference & EMEX.
What has Team Pulsara been up to in 2024? Take a look below at our annual Year in Review.
Dr. John Hick interviewed Eric Epley, Executive Director/CEO of the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council, for the article "The Evolution of Patient Load Balancing: The Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council," which was published in a newsletter by ASPR TRACIE.

Sometimes accidents happen, even at the North Pole. That's why, despite the hustle and bustle of preparing for the big day, crews with the North Pole Fire Department are implementing Pulsara so even they can improve communication around patient care.
Case Studies
Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services paired a new protocol with Pulsara to transport eligible pediatric behavioral health patients directly to behavioral health facilities, resulting in a 44% decrease in the number of pediatric behavioral health patients transported to the ED.
Baptist Health Medical Center - North Little Rock needed a better way to communicate about incoming stroke patients or transfer an LVO patient to their sister facility. After implementing Pulsara, Baptist Health reduced their average door-in-door-out for transfer by 42% and streamlined their transfer process.
Pulsara In the News
Pulsara has been involved with numerous incident preparedness drills across the United States, but none quite like this. We had the opportunity to participate in Texas A&M's Disaster Day, a student-led exercise that included a tropical storm, flooding, an earthquake, and active shooter simulations. Eight Pulsara team members joined students at various locations throughout the drill, giving them a quick rundown of how to use the Incident & Event Management functionality to triage and track around 300 patients, document treatments, and order and deliver meds from the field pharmacy.
Pulsara customers in Texas, Colorado, and Scotland were featured in the news for the cutting-edge treatments they provide and the innovative ways they use Pulsara.
Colorado Springs Fire Department in Colorado Springs, CO, began using wristbands every day for every patient, practicing the same protocol that will be used the next time they face a crisis.
