Vocera (News - Alert) Communications, Inc. is all set to introduce Vocera Connect, a new software solution that can be used with phones, including the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7900 Series, iPhones, Android (News - Alert)-based phones and BlackBerry devices.
Backed by Vocera System Software v4.3, the new application offers instant, intelligent communications capabilities of the Vocera Communication System, and highlights staff communication as well as improved operational workflow and response times.
“Joint Commission data shows communication failures contribute to poor patient outcomes,” said Brent Lang, president and COO at Vocera Communications. “By providing immediate, direct communication between care team members – regardless of their device or location – Vocera is helping hospitals improve workflow and enhance patient safety.”
In addition, Vocera Messaging solution promises to offer robust, reliable, HIPAA-compliant delivery of critical pages, text, messages, alarms and alerts to its users.
Not only this, users can also receive and send messages from smartphones, web-based consoles, or integrated third-party clinical systems. The Vocera Messaging solution can help eliminate unreliable pagers and replace unsecure SMS messaging, according to the company.
When in use with Cisco (News 
- Alert) Unified Wireless IP Phone, Vocera Connect enables caregivers and support staff to be connected in order to improve patient satisfaction and reduce response times.
Vocera Connect for Smartphones extends these capabilities to iPhone (News - Alert), Android and BlackBerry devices so that care providers can use their existing smartphone device to leverage the benefits of the Vocera System for immediate communication.
In related news, to accelerate the adoption of best-in-class, combined wireless networks and in-building mobile communication solutions which deliver “Instant Communication and Instant Guest Service” to the hospitality market, an alliance was created between Superclick (News - Alert) Networks, a global solution provider of wireless internet network infrastructure, HSIA services and Vocera Communications, Inc.
