The Response Advisor is designed to aid call takers in making objective dispatch decisions based upon conditions at the scene. A Risk Assessment Rating is created from the information and conditions ascertained during the call and displayed via the Response Advisor. Each condition is weighted to represent a risk level to either victim or scene. As information is gathered from the caller, the Response Advisor algorithm is determining not only what resources are best suited to respond, but also at what priority. Those dispatch decisions are then passed to the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system for specific unit assignments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”11\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\u201cOur Response Advisor method of allocating resources based on conditions at the scene is unique,\u201d said Chris Salafia, CEO of PowerPhone. \u201cEmergency responders are typically assigned based simply on an incident type and geographic region rather than the actual scene environment. Our approach ensures not only that appropriate resources are assigned but also offers better protection for both callers and responders.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The Response Advisor is a core element of PowerPhone\u2019s Total Response system, an integrated system designed to standardize the questioning and information gathering process on any emergency call. Built on the premise that effective call handling is the foundation for effective dispatch, Total Response presents call taking protocols in a unique, blended format to enable operators to ask the right questions and dispatch the appropriate resources regardless of the situation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”11\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\u201cThe number one concern of public safety managers is appropriate resource allocation and response prioritization,\u201d Salafia said. \u201cThe Response Advisor is significant as it adds a layer of objectivity to what has historically been a very subjective process. The old adage \u2018when in doubt, send them out\u2019 is no longer an acceptable method for dispatching first responders.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]This patent is the fourth issued to PowerPhone.
