In 1996, the Washington State Legislature established rules mandating all establishments that provide extended living facilities (including hotels and nursing homes) must have an onsite notification system that identifies, for 911 calls, the room in which an emergency is taking place. This means that the property’s telephone system must be capable of transmitting the room number directly to the 911 operator.
In February 2002, the Washington State Emergency Management Division revisited the statute, mandating the rules to be applied uniformly across the state in a timely fashion.
Tellink Integration Systems is an independent consulting firm that has been helping private and public organizations identify needs, design systems, and implement solutions that bring them into compliance.
Example - In 2001 our principle consultant worked with Horizon House (a large Continuing Care Retirement Community) in downtown Seattle to bring them into compliance with E911 rules. The process included a comprehensive audit of all of their telecommunication facilities.
Result – Tellink created a comprehensive database providing a platform to insure immediate and ongoing compliance with all E911 rules.
Benefit –Horizon House was able to reduce liability and provide a safer environment for their residents. In addition, during the audit Tellink was able to help Horizon House identify cost savings that resulted in:
- 25% Reduction in Long Distance Charges
- 40% Reduction in Local Dial tone Expenses
Tellink does not sell telecommunications service or equipment. We work with your staff to bring your systems into compliance.
