San Jose, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Vocera Communications (NYSE:VCRA) today announced that the recently introduced Vocera Vina smartphone application won the MedTech Breakthrough Award for “Best Overall mHealth Solution.”
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards is an independent program devoted to honoring excellence in health and medical related technology, including robotics, telehealth, patient engagement, electronic health records, mHealth, medical devices, medical data and much more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,750 nominations from more than 15 different countries.
Vocera Vina is a customizable communication app that helps clinicians stay focused on what matters most by presenting all incoming communication in order of importance, along with context that provides a meaningful picture of the patient situation. Calls, secure messages, alerts and alarm notifications are prioritized in a unified inbox to provide an intuitive user experience for clinicians inside and outside the hospital.
Drawing from a dynamic master directory and intelligent workflow engine of the Vocera Platform, Vina delivers relevant context to the right clinician or care team about clinical events, patient status, and clinician availability, helping care teams improve safety, quality of care, and experience for patients and care teams.
During chaotic situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional workflows are disrupted, and many clinicians take on new roles in different locations. Removing the burden of knowing who is on call or available while quickly delivering prioritized patient information to clinicians at their fingertips saves value steps and time.
Contextual patient information like vital signs, lab values, fall risk scores, and critical data like sepsis risk indicators can be automatically attached to a message or incoming call notification. The entire care team can see the full history of calls, messages, alerts, and alarms pertaining to a patient or event within a single conversational thread, and clinicians can easily see when others are busy or unavailable and should not be interrupted. They also can reach colleagues simply by saying a name, role or group.
Vocera has also made the list of Forbes 100 Most Trustworthy Companies in America. Learn more at www.vocera.com and follow @VoceraComm on Twitter.
