Case Study: Allina Health System’s Prescription for State-of-the-Art 911 Protection
Providing timely emergency response to 1,600 employees in their new 9-story Minneapolis headquarters high-rise is a high priority for Allina Hospitals and Clinics. Acting out of core company values of integrity, respect, trust and compassion, implementing E911 into their new Avaya IP Telephony platform was a no-brainer for Allina decision makers."Before we implemented our new system, we didn’t know where 911 calls originated from," says Kevin Holst, telecommunications systems manager for Allina Hospitals and Clinics. "We've now brought it down to a granular level so that, in the event of an emergency, even someone unfamiliar with our site can find someone in need quickly."
Upon reviewing the state E911 requirements and understanding the complexity of the facility with multiple floors and a variety of users (IP and traditional), Allina corporate attorneys determined that implementing E911 would be the best course of action.
What were the key motivators that precipitated Allina’s decision to implement E911?
- Employee safety
- State E911 requirements
- Emergency preparedness
- Risk management
