Hi,
For cardiac arrest notification and other emergencies, the phone
operators send out a hospital wide notification over the public address
system and simultaneously send out a page to a group via an automated
process from their console machine.  The complaint from the users is the
page may not be received for 3-4 minutes after they hear the overhead
announcement.  Our paging provider states there is not a problem with
the paging system here.

Anyone using another method to pass information along to users, please
contact Dave Krug at 810.257.9035 or e-mail at [log in to unmask]

Thanks,
Randy Hergenreder
