The holidays are just around the corner, and we know you have been working hard to juggle unprecedented case loads. From the bottom of our hearts, thanks for all you do.

We’re excited to let you know that Pulsara 11.3 has been released. We’re introducing a few new features to make using Pulsara easier when EMS changes the patient destination or Pulsara mobile devices change hands.

• EMS can change the patient destination en route
• The logged in account name appears on the PIN screen
• Special characters can be entered into patient names

CHANGE THE PATIENT DESTINATION EN ROUTE

From time to time, the need arises for EMS to divert from a hospital after they have sent the initial alert that they are coming. We now allow EMS teams to complete this change right in Pulsara, in a simple way that alerts both the original and new facilities about the change. No more cancelling the case when a new destination is selected!

EMS Teams enter the change reason and time so the new receiving facility receives an updated ETA.

We get it — life can be unpredictable. So now, EMS can easily change destinations multiple times when the patient care requires it.

The previous facility will receive an alert like the one below, with the reason that the patient destination is changing.

WHO’S LOGGED IN?

The updated PIN screen will now clearly show who’s currently logged in to Pulsara on any device, so your staff is always in the know. We’ve listened to feedback from your teams that this little detail can go a long way!

iOS: DASHES, ACCENTS, AND APOSTROPHES, OH MY!

Dashes and other special characters can now be added to patient names on iOS devices. Have a hyphenated last name, an enye, or apostrophe? Entering Johñ Doe, Jane Doé, Joe O’Bloggs, or John Doe-Bloggs? No problem! Now anyone using Pulsara can view and input patient names consistently.
