GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- 3n (National Notification Network), a leading provider of mass notification systems, announced today that the Baylor Health Care System, one of the largest private-sector employers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, is using the 3n mass notification system as its primary communications platform in the event of a crisis or disaster. The 3n system assists Baylor medical centers, led by Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, to conduct routine drills as part of the network's vital community role in the planning and preparation for crisis and disaster drills and events.
Baylor employs more than 15,000 people, including more than 3,300 physicians on its medical staff who would need to be alerted in the event of a crisis or disaster. The Baylor network includes hospitals, primary care physician centers and practices, rehabilitation clinics, senior health centers, affiliated ambulatory surgery centers, and the Baylor Research Institute. In drills to prepare for crises, the 3n system allows Baylor to quickly alert key personnel so they may activate command centers, conduct conference calls between key leaders and direct emergency personnel to assigned locations in an effective and timely manner.
"Baylor relies on the 3n system to quickly reach our staff and practitioners," said Ron Kasowski, director of safety for Baylor. "The 3n system is designed to allow Baylor to contact all our employees on our disaster organization chart to ensure they can respond as efficiently as possible during emergency situations. We also use the groups feature to dispatch our public safety employees and hazardous material decontamination team as necessary during disaster events."
Using the 3n system, Baylor administrators are able to instantly communicate with system users in any situation requiring quick and secure dissemination of information. The message is relayed via all modes of communication used by Baylor constituents, including phone, email, pager, and wireless devices such as laptops, PDAs and BlackBerries(R).
"3n is proud to have been selected as a key element of Baylor's medical response plan, whose high standards are leading the way in the healthcare industry when it comes to emergency response," said Cinta Putra, CEO of 3n. "Baylor's implementation of the 3n system demonstrates the critical role communication plays in disaster planning across industries and communities, particularly when the safety of individuals is at stake."
