    Summary of Emergency Exposure Management

    The ServiceNow® Emergency Exposure Management application assists organizations in identifying users who may have been exposed to infectious diseases. This is achieved by analyzing various data sources, such as meeting records, location data, Wi-Fi access logs, and badge scans. Users can be traced through multiple systems, and manual additions can also be made for suspected cases.

    Key Outcomes

    By implementing Emergency Exposure Management, organizations can quickly identify potentially exposed users, facilitating timely health responses to minimize the risk of disease spread. Users can expect a streamlined setup process and the ability to leverage existing data sources effectively. Compliance with legal obligations remains the responsibility of the organization or agency using the application.

    The ServiceNow® Emergency Exposure Management application helps identify users who might have been exposed to infectious diseases by analyzing multiple data sources such as meetings, location, shifts, Wi-Fi access logs, and badge scans of affected users.

    Emergency Exposure Management provides tracing systems to use the following data sources to generate a list of potentially exposed users:
    • Microsoft Office 365 meeting invite
    • Location of the ServiceNow user profile
    • Workspace reservation
    • Badge scan log
    • Wi-Fi access log
    • Employee daily log
    • Field service task
    • Visitors log
    • Handheld or wearable device proximity sensing data
    Note:
    Some of the tracing systems require you to install other Safe Workplace suite and Emergency Response Management applications. For more information, see Tracing systems in Emergency Exposure Management.
    You can also manually add users whom you know might have been potentially exposed to an affected user.

    In addition to using the base system tracing systems, you can set up a tracing system that uses your own data source to identify potentially exposed users. For more information, see Set up a tracing system for an exposure data source.

    Use guided setup to implement Safe Workplace suite apps

To open the Safe Workplace guided setup, navigate to Guided Setup > Safe Workplace Guided Setup. For more information about using the guided setup interface, see Using guided setup.

    Use with other Emergency Response Management applications

    Emergency Exposure Management was originally developed to monitor and aid in stopping the community spread of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 among users. It is part of a suite of ServiceNow® Emergency Response Management applications built on the ServiceNow AI Platform® to assist companies in their emergency response efforts. You can also enable users to self-report their health status through the Emergency Outreach and Emergency Self Report applications, which are both available in the ServiceNow Store.
