The additional connectivity will allow for two-way interactive communication between the EHR and Vocera’s communication system. Vocera plans to integrate with several EHR systems, according to HIT Consultant.
The increased connection would allow hospital staff to contribute voice updates, such as housekeepers updating when they have cleaned beds, which improves patient flow. Real-time data is available in the EHR, allowing providers and staff to communicate about the status of actions throughout the hospital, according to the report.
Users can also access the Vocera Collaboration Suite directly from the desktop and from mobile applications, allowing hospital providers and staff to communicate wherever they are in the facility, according to the report.
