The 247-bed hospital will equip all of its physicians with the Vocera app, the first hospital in New Orleans to do so. The app features HIPAA-compliant texting and a hands-free option. It also integrates with more than 120 clinical systems, including EHRs, patient monitors and biomedical equipment.

“We wanted a single solution that solved several of our communication needs — not just one or two of them. So, it made sense to look at Vocera,” said John Heaton, MD, senior vice president and CMO.
