Implementing a Unified Solution
Our net-centric alerting system is a fast, reliable way to send specific and impactful alerts to targeted audiences without distressing patients or visitors. Alertus specializes in simplifying and unifying emergency mass notification for healthcare organizations to ensure their facility’s entire population receives and responds to alerts.
VoIP Phone Integration
Simultaneously activate audible and visual notifications on all or select VoIP phones and speakers for clear, enunciated staff paging. It also works alongside Alertus Desktop™ Notification and other Alertus net-centric alerting endpoints to ensure consistent, enterprise-wide notifications.
Alertus Desktop™ Notification
Quickly notify all or select hospital personnel of an emergency, such as severe weather or non-emergency communications, using full-screen or partial-screen computer desktop pop-ups. Customize templates to match hospital codes for immediate recognition and action.
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) Integration
Safety personnel can customize Alertus’ Fire Alarm Control Panel Integration to notify healthcare professionals by applying smart logic technologies to activate and distribute emergency alerts to connected Alertus solutions. Additionally, the Alertus System monitors and instructs the fire panel to suppress notification modalities such as strobes and sirens for specific emergencies to help minimize noise levels. The interface is NFPA 72 compliant.
Healthcare facilities experience the ultimate challenge of preventing panic among patients during an emergency. The Alertus System can easily be scaled to an organization or facility's needs, making it one of the most flexible yet powerful unified emergency mass notification systems.

Healthcare facilities must implement mass notification solutions that enhance emergency communication without panicking patients and exceeding building noise standards.
