Connecting the Right People Right Now

In today’s health care environment, one trend has remained consistent: a move towards increased mobility within the provision of health care.  It has become evident that an increasingly mobile workforce within health care can provide new levels of quality patient care.

But how does everyone stay connected?

As mobility increases, the need for communication among provider staff increases as well.  A mobile health care workforce, which is unreachable or does not have necessary information, is of no use. It is imperative that health care providers have a system in place to communicate in order to deliver the highest levels of patient care.

Immediate Response Communication Systems allow the requisite levels of communication in order to attain the benefits seen from a mobile workforce. This market has seen the development of groundbreaking technology which can provide unique value out to health care providers looking to take the next step in mobility and communication. For these reasons, the AHA evaluated Immediate Response Communication Systems on behalf of the member hospitals. 

Instant voice communications in mission-critical environments

With Vocera Communications, mobile staff are immediately connected to the resources and people they need up to five time faster than with other means of communications. The solution reduces phone tag, overhead paging, and the need to physically search for a person – leaving more time for patients.

The AHA has endorsed Vocera for its Immediate Response Communications Solutions. With Vocera, hospitals use the solution’s advanced database capabilities to create user and workflow profiles including name, job function and groups. These unique profiles allow staff members to call by function or group in a round-robin or sequential fashion, such as “Call transport” or “find the charge nurse”. If the end-user is unavailable, or does not respond, the Vocera system automatically routes the call to the next person in the workflow.

Streamlining Workflow

Vocera offers a unique product to the health care community. Vocera markets the only wearable and hands-free communication device. This offering puts them in position to singularly deliver a unique value to the health care industry. No other communication device can offer the same blend of benefits seen through value drivers aimed at staff efficiencies, patient safety and patient flow.

The Vocera System allows nurses to communicate more efficiently with other health care workers, resulting in more time spent with patients. Read this compilation of case studies for more insight into this solution.

The following are examples of instant communication enabled by the Vocera system:

• Calling a physician for an order or a clarification of an order
• Calling support staff without leaving the patient bedside to include Respiratory Therapy, Pharmacy, Dietary, etc.
• Calling and responding to calls “hands-free” while in an isolation room
• Conferencing with 3 people at one time
• Broadcasting a call for a “code blue” while at the same time caring for patient or getting the code cart
