Hospital unifies communication to increase
the safety and well-being of patients, families, and care
teams
Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in
clinical communication and workflow solutions, today announced that
Jupiter Medical Center selected Vocera solutions to further enhance
team communication and collaboration across the 248-bed hospital.
Hospital leaders selected Vocera solutions to achieve several
clinical and operational objectives, including streamlining
communication among clinicians, fostering patient and team safety,
creating a quiet healing environment, and enhancing communication
with patients’ families.
Implementation of Vocera technology will extend into the new
90,000-square-foot Jupiter Medical Center Surgical Institute slated
to open in 2023 to meet growing volumes of surgical procedures.
“Unifying communication and collaboration from one vendor
streamlines operations for our clinicians and IT professionals,”
said Kevin Olson, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at
Jupiter Medical Center. “It gives us flexibility on the devices we
can use and minimizes the number of disparate technologies, which
helps reduce the number of alerts, alarms, notification, and
interruptions.”
The hospital is deploying the wearable Vocera Smartbadge and the
Vocera Edge smartphone application to enable care team members to
connect and communicate, send and receive secure messages, and
manage patient-centric alert notifications. Contextual information
is intelligently routed to a team member on their mobile device of
choice or workstation via Vocera Engage, which integrates with more
than 150 clinical and operational systems. Jupiter Medical Center
will launch with the integration of its nurse call and electronic
health record (EHR) systems with Vocera solutions to help reduce
alarm fatigue and further enhance the five-star patient
satisfaction they are known for.
“Standardized communication and system integration will increase
satisfaction among our dedicated caregivers and ultimately enhance
patient care,” Pamela Canter, RN, BSN, Vice President and Chief
Nursing Officer at Jupiter Medical Center said.
Additionally, the hospital is implementing the Vocera Ease
application in its Surgical Institute and the emergency department
(ED) to enrich the patient, family, and care team experience. The
cloud-based application enables nurses and other healthcare
professionals to send secure texts, photos, and video updates
during patient rounds to designated friends and families.
Recipients of these personalized messages can respond to updates
with three positive emojis, giving immediate feedback and support
to caregivers. This technology supports Jupiter Medical Center’s
commitment to keeping family members connected with hospitalized
loved ones.
“Jupiter Medical Center cares deeply about the safety,
well-being, and overall healthcare experience of the patients,
families, employees, and the community it serves,” said Brent Lang,
Chairman and CEO of Vocera. “We are very proud to partner with this
compassionate, caring and innovative organization.”
