Case Study: Maine Medical Center achieves instant hospital-wide staff communication and emergency alerting with Netpresenter

First US Hospital to Use Interactive Screensaver

Maine Medical Center, the largest hospital in Maine with over 600 beds and more than 5,000 employees, needed a faster, more reliable way to inform and alert a 24/7, shift‑based clinical workforce because e‑mail and paper memos were inefficient and prone to outages. To address this, the hospital chose Netpresenter to improve internal communications and emergency notification capabilities.

Netpresenter deployed an interactive screensaver/news broadcast across all 2,700 PCs, including an emergency alert feature, so leaders can push timely messages to staff anywhere in the facility. The solution, which made Maine Medical Center the first US hospital to use an interactive screensaver, delivered rapid organization‑wide reach to over 5,000 employees, improved staff acceptance within months, and now serves as a valuable complement to the hospital’s emergency preparedness system.
