The WatchPoint AtRisk Registry enables medical providers to communicate up-to-date information on vulnerable patients during natural disasters or emergency situations to local/state/federal disaster management officials. Vulnerable patients include those on life-support, homebound patients, disabled and elderly, and those with special needs. There are two ways that the WatchPoint AtRisk Registry can be used by medical providers: event-driven or through active registry.
Event-Driven
This is beneficial for in-patient care providers. For example, when a hurricane is forecasted to approach your facility, you can update the registry with patient information. This notifies local emergency management that information for your facility has been updated. They’ll have adequate information to help them prepare for possible evacuation, rescue, recovery, and critical care of your patients.
Active Registry
Active registry is particularly useful for outpatient care providers. It is recommended that the WatchPoint AtRisk Registry is updated weekly since there are multiple locations involved in this kind of registry. Local emergency management can then use the information provided to continuously create plans and stage assets in advance for possible evacuation, rescue, recovery, and critical care of the your patients.

If you are a medical provider caring for patients who remain in their own homes, the WatchPoint AtRisk Registry can be updated on a weekly basis to allow emergency personnel to prepare for evacuations or recovery prior to an emergency situation.
