Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in
clinical communication and workflow solutions, today announced that
Royal Stoke University Hospital (part of University Hospitals of
North Midlands NHS Trust in the UK) deployed the Vocera Badge
across its emergency department to streamline communication and
collaboration among team members, enabling better patient flow,
care and safety.
The hands-free communication devices were funded by a grant to
support the hospital’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The
voice-controlled Badge can be worn under personal protective
equipment (PPE), helping protect staff from the need to don and
doff PPE for important care team connection and potentially reduce
the risk of contamination. By simply saying a name, role or team,
healthcare workers can connect and collaborate completely
hands-free, even in isolation, while scrubbed in, or in PPE.
“Vocera has allowed us to improve patient care by making it
easier for clinicians to communicate quickly and safely,” said Dr.
Brijesh Patel, Emergency Medicine Consultant at Royal Stoke
University Hospital. “We are a big hospital with many
compartmentalized divisions and reaching the right clinician is the
key to providing better patient care. The Vocera Badge allows us to
quickly communicate, reduce delays, and increase
responsiveness.”
Purpose built for healthcare, a nurse, doctor, or other care
team member wearing a Badge can use simple voice commands to reach
a specific person, request supplies, or get help. Based on the
impact at Royal Stoke University Hospital, University Hospitals of
North Midlands NHS Trust plans to implement the solution in the
emergency department at County Hospital in Stafford.
“We are proud to support University Hospitals of North Midlands
NHS Trust and the frontline workers at Royal Stoke University
Hospital as they care for patients, families and the community
throughout the pandemic and beyond,” said Brent Lang, Chairman and
CEO for Vocera.
