Tennessee State Health Department Extends Service Contract with Upp Technology
Upp Technology will continue to provide managed hosting solutions to the Department of Health in Tennessee. As part of the renewed contract, the technology provider will add a central server to the emergency operations of the agency to enable efficient intercommunication among all the emergency Go-Kits in the area.
The centralized emergency management solution added to the services will significantly improve the efficiency of emergency response through the enhanced accessibility of patient information.
Tennessee is already using Upp’s Go-Kits for mobile emergency response but the state is still planning to add a centralized server that will link all the Go-kits together. This centralized approach is expected to be more accurate and more reliable as it allows for responsive patient tracking, effective inventory management as well as a more efficient distribution of the resources that are crucial in every emergency.
Go-Kits provide Upp’s emergency response solution suite with a Mobile Logistics Platform. They are deployed and operational within fifteen minutes as they contain information that is necessary for running inventory, asset and resource management. It can also pull up patient treatment facilities as needed. the extension of Upp’s technology solutions have already been proven as successful by how H1N1 anti-virals have been efficiently distributed. The new extension will also be able to tap into the command and control staff of the state and help them oversee to the distribution of the emergency supplies, real-time.
