Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital has introduced Vocera's mobile healthcare communications solutions into its operating rooms and throughout its perioperative services.
The hospital hopes to make the hospital environment quieter by using Vocera's solutions, according to a release.
"Voice-controlled technology has become critical for improving communication and navigating within our large and growing environment, while reducing noise levels," said Wilton Levine, MD, associate medical director of perioperative services at Massachusetts General Hospital. "We have found that hands-free, voice-activated communication truly improves our ability to communicate with the right members of the care team at the right time."
