Life Line

Life Line is a unique personal emergency response system that allows people to live at home independently while maintaining an immediate emergency link to Aurora Medical Center at the push of a button. Lifeline operates in conjunction with home telephone service and is available as a 24-hour service. Installation of Lifeline does not affect the normal operations of the telephone. For more information contact Tammy Behnke, Lifeline coordinator, at 262-670-7542.

Take Care Program

The emergency department is committed to helping eliminate alcohol related emergencies. As part of a national nonprofit injury prevention organization, the emergency nurses who work daily with crash victims focus on ways to reduce preventable injuries and deaths by educating the public about health lifestyles.

EMSystems

AMC Hartford has been accessing EMSystems, an Internet-based resource management communication tool since August of 2003. EMSystems has enhanced our ability to communicate during disasters and allows us to inter-relate with our community on a broad-spectrum basis. For more information please contact Al Davies at 262-67-7249.

EMSystems abilities:

• Emergency medicine – The system communicates to users the ability to accept ambulance traffic, as well as bed capacity and resources on hand in the event of a mass casualty incident. The emergency department and Risk Management agree that this tool enhances services.
• Law enforcement & fire department – Disperse information about missing persons and suspects who may be wounded to those on the front lines of emergency medicine.
• Public health – Quickly posts public health alerts and distributes protocols and other documents; conduct health surveillance efforts. The WA County Public health department is currently in “view only" access.
