Hospitals & Health Systems

Resgrid for Hospitals & Health Systems

Dispatch hospital-based ambulances and critical care transport teams, coordinate inter-facility moves, and run your emergency operations plan from one platform — with PHI encrypted and completed transports sent back to your EHR.

Free for up to 10 users & units • No contracts • Set up in about 15 minutes

Moving patients shouldn't run on phone tag

Transfer centers, transport teams, and hospital-owned fleets sit between clinical systems that don't talk to dispatch — and dispatch tools that were never meant to hold PHI.

Transfers stall between systems

A transfer is accepted in one system, then someone phones the transport team, the vendor, and the receiving unit. Status lives with whoever last picked up the phone.

No view of your own fleet

Hospital-owned ambulances, critical care units, and couriers run without a live map, so nobody can give the sending unit a realistic pickup time.

Specialty crews are hard to staff

A critical care transfer needs a transport nurse, a critical care paramedic, and a driver who are all current. That roster usually lives in a spreadsheet and a few people's heads.

Surge plans on paper

When a mass casualty incident or a system outage hits, the emergency operations plan, labor pool callouts, and command assignments run on binders and group texts.

How Resgrid helps your hospital move people

One platform for the teams that move patients and respond to incidents, working alongside your EHR, transfer center, and bed board.

Transport dispatch

Enter transport requests as calls with priority, pickup location, and transfer notes, or schedule them for a set pickup time. Dispatch the right crew by push, SMS, email, or voice.

Live fleet & status board

The built-in ambulance status template — Dispatched, Responding, At Patient, Transporting, At Hospital, Returning — timestamps every leg while every unit shows on one live map.

Critical care crew setup

Unit role templates for critical care transport seat a critical care paramedic, a transport nurse, and a driver, so dispatchers can see who is on each unit before it rolls.

Clinical credential tracking

Track RN licensure, CCP, ACLS, PALS, NRP, and driver credentials with expirations for every transport team member and see who can staff which unit today.

Hospital incident command

Resgrid IC gives you ICS-based lanes that map to your HICS sections, objectives, and needs, with an automatic timeline of every command action for the after-action report.

Labor pool callouts & messaging

Call out off-duty staff with availability responses, then keep transport, security, and emergency management teams on messaging, group chat, and optional push-to-talk.

Advanced Data Protection

Designed for PHI, from dispatch to the chart

Transport requests carry patient names, diagnoses, and room numbers. Advanced Data Protection encrypts them field by field, and Protected Workflows return the outcome to your EHR over FHIR or HL7.

Field-level encryption

Call details, notes, attachments, contacts, and custom fields are encrypted with AES-256-GCM under a department key that is held in a separate key management service.

Step-up MFA on every reveal

Normal permissions are required but not enough. Revealing a protected field needs a fresh multi-factor check and a short-lived grant tied to one user and one app.

Minimum necessary by default

Workflows, notifications, logs, and wall displays receive redacted data unless your administrators approve a specific release to a specific destination.

Standards-based EHR hand-off

Send FHIR R4 transaction Bundles or HL7 v2.5.1 messages over HTTPS, directly or through an interface engine, using SMART Backend Services, OAuth2 client credentials, a bearer token, or an API key.

Governed releases

Each Protected Workflow releases only the fields you select to one pinned HTTPS destination, after step-up MFA, an optional second approver, and re-approval every 12 months.

Hash-chained disclosure log

Every release attempt is recorded before anything is sent, in a hash-chained log you can verify and export. It holds field IDs and hashes, never patient values.

How a completed transport reaches the chart

  1. 1

    Request dispatched

    The transport is created with the patient's EHR identifier stored encrypted on the call.

  2. 2

    Every leg timestamped

    At Patient, Transporting, and At Hospital statuses record the move as it happens.

  3. 3

    Protected Workflow fires

    On close, approved fields go out as FHIR R4 or HL7 v2, with an idempotency key so a retry never duplicates a record.

  4. 4

    Encounter ID returned

    Success rules confirm the EHR accepted it, and the returned encounter ID is saved encrypted on the call.

Advanced Data Protection is an optional add-on and a technical safeguard, not HIPAA compliance on its own. Resgrid is not a transfer-center, bed-management, or EHR system; it coordinates the people and vehicles that move patients and respond to incidents.

The tools between your EHR and your fleet

Resgrid doesn't replace your EHR, transfer center, or bed board. It replaces the phone calls, spreadsheets, and single-purpose tools that sit between them and the people who actually move patients.

Protected Workflows: FHIR R4 & HL7 v2

One subscription covers transport dispatch, fleet tracking, crew scheduling, callouts, and incident command, with public pricing and no long-term contract — and one integration pattern to your EHR instead of one per tool.

Faster moves, fewer phone calls

Every transfer that waits on a callback holds a bed, a nurse, and sometimes an emergency department room. Visibility turns those minutes back into capacity.

Time back

  • Sending units get a realistic pickup time from a live map instead of a callback
  • Scheduled transports dispatch themselves at the planned time
  • Completed transports reach the EHR on close instead of being re-entered
  • Surge callouts go to every channel at once, with responses tracked in one place

Budget back

  • Replace separate dispatch, GPS, scheduling, and callout subscriptions
  • One reusable FHIR and HL7 integration instead of a custom interface per tool
  • Public, entity-based pricing that fits a department budget, not a capital request
  • Open source and self-hostable where your security team requires on-premises hosting

Estimates based on typical published pricing of fleet tracking and scheduling tools; results vary by health system size and current stack. Resgrid does not provide bed management, transfer-center clinical workflows, or claims billing.
