EMS Centralization Program – Pulsara System

As part of the RHTP EMS Centralization Program,  Pulsara has been selected as the statewide EMS centralization platform. Pulsara’s TOTAL CARE package provides comprehensive care coordination and logistics functionality statewide. This platform is available at no cost for Oklahoma hospitals and Fire/EMS providers.

• Pulsara connects Fire/EMS agencies and emergency departments/hospitals to enable efficient, live communications and patient information exchange.
• Pulsara has additional functionality including Mass Casualty Incident response and STEMI, trauma, stroke and other Time Sensitive Emergency workflows.
• A key benefit of the platform is its ability to connect rural providers with specialty care via live video so clinicians can treat more patients locally, keep billing in the community, retain clinical competence, and support long-term institutional viability.
• Pulsara works best when deployed as a network, so hospital and Fire/EMS enrollment is vital to the success of the initiative. Our goal is 100% participation.

• Hospitals and Fire/EMS Agencies can visit the Pulsara Oklahoma resource page and click the “sign up now” button under the “Join the Network” section.

• Once signed up, the Pulsara team will reach out to your organization to discuss the implementation process.
• Implementation is anticipated to occur in waves as “networks” of hospitals and EMS agencies are ready to “go live.” Rural networks will be prioritized.

At the end of the five-year RHTP grant, if the program has demonstrable outcomes and EMS agencies and hospitals have positive feedback, Oklahoma is committed to Pulsara sustainability.
