Upstate University Hospital to share strategies
for improving physician communication and patient experience
Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in
clinical communication and workflow solutions, today announced that
it will host a webinar with Upstate University Hospital about
Strategies for Improving Physician Communication and Patient
Experience on Tuesday, June 11, at 1 p.m. ET. The free online event
will be moderated by Bridget Duffy, MD, Chief Medical Officer of
Vocera.
“Building trusted relationships between patients and their
nurses and doctors starts with effective communication,” said Dr.
Duffy, who will lead a discussion with Amit Dhamoon, MD, PhD,
internist at Upstate University Hospital and associate professor
of medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University; and Karen
Wentworth, MPH, MSW, RRT, Director of Patient Experience at State
University of New York and Upstate University Hospital.
Dr. Dhamoon worked closely with Wentworth to design a
unique way to improve physician communication and patient
experience using real-time feedback captured with Vocera Rounds, a
mobile application that enables clinicians to customize
patient-centric questions, easily capture answers and observations,
and track trends per person and department. Physician communication
rounding is one of many rounds customized, implemented and
hardwired across more than 30 units at Upstate University
Hospital.
Wentworth collaborates with Dr. Dhamoon and nurse leaders
throughout the organization to design questions specific to each
type of round. Webinar participants will learn how using a
patient-centric, mobile solution can improve clinician
communication and patient engagement, which impacts care
experience, compliance and outcomes.
“The Vocera Rounds solution helps clinicians have meaningful
conversations with patients and their families, which help improve
engagement, education and understanding,” said Dr. Dhamoon.
More than three million rounds have been conducted across the
country in hospitals using the Vocera Rounds solution. To register
