Ascension Health’s St. Mary’s Health System Selects ReadyPoint Systems’ Incident Management Technology for Indiana Hospita

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Officials with information technology company ReadyPoint announced today that they were recently selected by St. Mary’s Health System to automate “incident management” services in its two Indiana-based facilities through their StandTo™ technology.

St. Mary’s Health System – comprised of St. Mary's Medical Center in Evansville and St. Mary's Warrick Hospital in Boonville – is part of Ascension Health, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system.

Ascension Health recently utilized their Emergency Preparedness Advisory Team to conduct a comprehensive review of all Incident Management Systems and ultimately selected emergent company ReadyPoint’s StandTo™ as their primary technology platform.

“Today’s healthcare environment is competitive, and hospitals can’t afford to make mistakes,” says Chris Riddle, founder and president of ReadyPoint Systems. “Our technology is precise and easy-to-use, which enables hospitals to prepare for and manage a wide-range of unplanned events.”

Shaped by more than 25 years of “real world” hospital experience, ReadyPoint is an information technology company whose suite of innovative software services helps hospitals improve processes that enhance both the quality and safety of care.

“St. Mary’s just launched its first drill using the StandTo™ technology,” says Keith Kahre, EMS/security manager and safety officer of St. Mary’s Health System. “Once fully implemented, I am confident that this system will be of vital importance during any emergency, particularly because we face a substantial earthquake risk in Southwest Indiana with the New Madrid and Wabash Valley fault lines nearby.”

ReadyPoint’s StandTo™ technology – a web-based incident management system that automates a healthcare facility’s incident management services – is used by more than 150 hospitals across the nation. Incident management services are the protocols and procedures that hospitals follow to manage emergency and other non-regular incidents that may occur within an organization.

The facilities in St. Mary’s Health System will utilize the StandTo™ system to conduct emergency preparedness exercises and to manage actual crisis events.

“This technology will allow us to conduct more effective emergency preparedness exercises at both hospitals simultaneously, which ensures we’ll be better prepared to provide safety across a wider area of Indiana,” says Keith Kahre.

The St. Mary’s Health System chose to automate their incident management systems in order to improve efficiency, increase the accuracy of incident documentation and streamline resources.
