Mobile communications company Vocera has released a communication product with the ability to integrate with EHRs and other electronic clinical systems.
Mobile EHR apps users can now connect with the Vocera Collaboration Suite to use voice communication and secure text messaging through their smartphones. In addition, Vocera software can now synchronize care team assignment information between the EHR and the Vocera mobile app, allowing care team members to access the appropriate member of the care team.
Vocera is also launching the Vocera Care Experience Pre-Arrival Communication, which enables patients to access important scheduling and procedural information prior to procedures; and Vocera Cardiac Consult, which makes 12-lead electrocardiograms available on physician smartphones and tablets for faster diagnoses and easier outcome comparisons.
