15. STEMI Alerts before Everbridge Aware
g
• An operator in the hospital’s communications center
manually contacted the team and tracked:
• Time required to reach the cardiologist
• Cardiologist response time
• Team activation
• Team response time
• Pager is one way - operators had to wait for the
one-way
team to call back to confirm
• If no confirmation was received within five minutes, operator
had to call team members one-by-one, with the STEMI alert
clock ticking and other duties in the wings
