Chicago, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) March 17, 2011

The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced it has again awarded its exclusive endorsement to emergency preparedness and incident command from LiveProcess. AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of AHA, awards the AHA endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence. Following an extensive re-evaluation process of emergency preparedness and emergency management, LiveProcess’s system was selected for the endorsement. LiveProcess, based in Verona, New Jersey, is a market leader in web-based emergency preparedness, with more than 600 hospitals currently using their solutions.

“Hospitals and communities must collaborate to ensure compliant, coordinated and appropriate emergency preparedness and response. We found that LiveProcess offers a straightforward web-based platform that enables health care organizations to monitor, manage and control disaster readiness and incident command processes,” said Anthony Burke, CEO and President of AHA Solutions. “We were impressed by LiveProcess’ knowledge of Emergency/Incident Management regulations, including Hospital Incident Command Systems and National Incident Management Systems.”

The AHA endorsement process included an extensive review of the emergency preparedness and management marketplace, hospital needs, and available solutions. The LiveProcess customer base, ease-of-use, expertise in emergency preparedness and management and exclusive focus on health care were key factors in its selection.

LiveProcess is a web-based application that helps hospitals and health care organizations prepare for and manage their response to disasters and events. LiveProcess has proven itself in Joint Commission surveys, exercises and real events and has helped health care executives standardize their emergency management program across single or multiple facilities, providing a new level of visibility, incident command, risk management and compliance.

“To be recognized for the work our company does every day in this special way is unique and something we’re very proud of,” said Nathaniel Weiss, founder and CEO of LiveProcess. “Naturally, we take the most pride in our partnerships with hospitals across the country to help them better manage their effective and efficient response to any clinical or non-clinical event. It’s when the LiveProcess application makes the difference in people’s lives that we are truly excited.”
