Abstract

In the past, intra‐hospital communication during disaster incidents relied heavily on pagers, phones or direct verbal communication. Other communication channels may include facsimile transmission, email and “walkie‐talkie”. There was often delay or inadequacy of information dissemination. This article introduces the “News Board for Emergency Incidents” recently launched in our hospital intranet as an efficient communication channel to convey up‐to‐date information to other hospital staff during major incidents. The background and process of development of this new communication modality is discussed. We also try to explore possible future development of such “news board” via intranet broadcast.
