When hundreds of at-risk patients were lost during Hurricane Katrina, it was more apparent than ever that a central repository of vulnerable patient data was necessary for emergency planning, evacuation and recovery efforts. With the feedback and guidance of those impacted organizations, the founders of Brightgray Solutions volunteered to solve this problem. The solution is WatchPoint AtRisk Registry. WatchPoint AtRisk Registry is a cloud-based SaaS solution, developed to track the real-time status, location and medical needs of vulnerable or at-risk patients before and during every stage of a disaster. With this HIPAA-compliant system, medical care providers can communicate with emergency responders and government agencies about members of the local population that need priority assistance: • Home-bound patients • Hospital patients • Patients on life support • Patients with disabilities • Children and adults with special needs WatchPoint AtRisk Registry provides the operational foundation for CMS compliance with the Emergency Preparedness Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for healthcare providers and streamlines collaboration across all organizations in an evacuation or disaster scenario.
