Agilitas Advisory, Battleground’s exclusive North American partner, has partnered with HAPevolve, a subsidiary of The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), to make Battleground Live available to HAP member hospitals and other healthcare organizations served by HAPevolve through the Industry Partner program.

Battleground Live is an award-winning risk and resilience platform used globally by organizations managing emergency response, business continuity, operational risk, and crisis management.

Hospitals face rising operational pressures, including cyber incidents, technology outages, severe weather, supply chain disruption, staffing challenges, and other events that can affect patient care and operations. Many organizations still rely on binders, static plans, spreadsheets, and disconnected communication tools that can slow response and complicate recovery.

“Healthcare organizations need resilience tools that match the speed and complexity of the environment they operate in,” said Lori Mulholland, Director of Business Development at HAPevolve. “Battleground Live gives emergency managers, clinicians, and executives a unified platform that strengthens preparedness, accelerates response, and improves organizational performance.”

Battleground Live is a modular platform certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 that allows hospitals to start with the capabilities they need most, whether emergency management, emergency communications, incident response, business continuity, IT disaster recovery, enterprise risk, or operational resilience.

For HAP member hospitals, the most immediate value is in modernizing emergency management, response coordination, and communications. Battleground enables rapid plan activation, role-based instructions and tasking, two-way messaging to staff and responders, automated logging of actions and decisions, and after-action review via web and mobile access. As programs mature, hospitals can extend into business impact analysis, dependency mapping, exercises and simulations, and executive-level resilience reporting.

Through Agilitas Advisory, hospitals receive more than technology. Agilitas pairs Battleground Live with practical advisory support to align the platform to real operating needs, support adoption, and turn preparedness and resilience data into insight for leaders and boards.

“Battleground Live is built by practitioners who understand the realities of emergency management, business continuity, and operational risk,” said Rob Whitzman, Partner, Technology and Resilience at Agilitas Advisory. “Our partnership with HAPevolve helps hospitals access both the technology and the advisory support needed to modernize resilience programs and improve outcomes for patients and staff.”

Battleground can help hospitals:

• activate emergency plans quickly with the right roles, instructions, and tasking
• deliver two-way emergency communications to staff, responders, and leadership
• coordinate incident response through a single connected environment
• log actions and decisions for audit and after-action review
• run realistic exercises and simulations virtually or in person
• unify business continuity, risk, and IT disaster recovery in one platform
• provide executives and boards with clearer visibility into readiness and resilience performance.

HAPevolve partners with organizations that bring meaningful value to Pennsylvania’s health care community. By connecting members with innovative solutions, HAPevolve helps hospitals save time, reduce burden, and strengthen operational performance.
