Metro Alert vs LIFENET Care

Metro Alert is intended primarily for use by emergency first responders, but also may be utilized by those throughout the country as a reference tool. Metro Alert links the emergency first responder directly with the receiving organization's communication center. The GPS function instantly alerts the communication center of your location while we verify aircraft availability and ETA. This speeds response times and places the flight crew on standby at no cost to your patient. You still must go through your normal request channels to launch the helicopter. Metro Alert also provides additional functions and important reference information for medical and trauma emergencies including: • Send EKG, wound, accident scene photos • Send HIPAA compliant social media photos • Access education references and courses • EMS pocket reference • Contact information and more Although all public safety providers may utilize Metro Alert, registration is required for full activation and functionality. Registration is free and will take less than three minutes. Designed for all public safety personnel, this application was designed and tested in collaboration with emergency first responders.

The LIFENET® Care app is an extension of the LIFENET Care ecosystem that will provide both EMS and hospitals with powerful communication capabilities. This app features live video, audio and secure text for consultations, alerts and notifications. It also offers the same reliable and secure data and device ecosystem that is designed to streamline communication and collaboration. The app is easy to use and enables healthcare providers to quickly connect as one team, simplifying the delivery of integrated healthcare. Together with our suite of devices, the new app is a valuable tool for healthcare providers. EMS and Hospital: • Automatic or manual creation of patient records. • Mobile and web-based options allow you to choose your device. • Prepare and collaborate with the entire care team for any type of patient, using checklists with audio, video or text for quick notifications, alerts or consults. • Configure, view and customize checklists, time goals and team members to fit your protocols.
