Transforming Emergency Response with Reliable Connectivity
Lifeline Ambulance Service, Ireland’s largest private ambulance provider, transports over 24,000 patients annually across 12 nationwide bases. Operating 24/7, their mission is to ensure seamless patient transport and healthcare support, requiring uninterrupted connectivity, real-time tracking, and secure data management.
ROCTEL’s ROCSOLID CARE system has revolutionized Lifeline’s operations, enhancing communication, streamlining processes, and ensuring patient data security.
The Challenge
Lifeline Ambulance Service faced four key operational challenges:
- Continuous Connectivity: Uninterrupted phone lines and internet access were crucial for receiving hospital bookings and dispatching ambulances.
- Data Management: Secure and efficient patient information handling, invoicing, and reporting were essential.
- Operational Oversight: Real-time tracking and coordination of up to 50 ambulances daily were critical for smooth operations.
- Security & Compliance: Protecting sensitive patient data and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations was a top priority.
A system failure—whether due to connectivity loss or security breaches—could jeopardize Lifeline’s reputation and disrupt emergency services.
