Kentucky is moving forward with Pulsara to create a more connected, coordinated healthcare system across our hospitals, EMS agencies, and health care partners. Pulsara will help ensure that the right information gets to the right people at the right time—improving communication during emergency care, patient transfers, and critical events. This statewide approach will strengthen rural healthcare by connecting communities to the resources and specialists they need, regardless of where patients enter the system. Ultimately, Pulsara is about improving patient care, reducing delays, and helping Kentucky move from fragmented communication to one coordinated system.
