Streamlining ED to Inpatient Admissions
October 13, 2011

Requires Windows Media Player. Industry sources cite communication breakdown during hand-offs as the single largest source of medical error and the root cause of more than 80 percent of sentinel events.

Improving Clinical Workflow by Replacing Pagers with Vocera Messaging
April 28, 2011

Requires Flash. With increasing numbers of healthcare workers using smartphones – and the dizzying array of applications and capabilities of these devices – doctors and nurses are realizing the limited functionality of traditional pagers, and asking why they still need to carry them. The Vocera messaging platform allows healthcare workers to free them of their pagers by providing robust, reliable, and secure delivery of pages, alarms, and alerts on either iPhone®, BlackBerry®, or Android™ devices, improving clinical workflow and elevating patient safety.

Tackling Patient Hand-Offs at Phelps County Regional Medical Center
January 26, 2011

Requires Flash. As patients move across the continuum of care, it is essential that information about their treatment moves with them. The very nature of patient hand-offs, whether across shifts, departments, or facilities, is prone to error. Busy clinicians may omit important patient information during shift change; receiving departments may not understand the care plan of a transferred patient; and family members are often left out of the loop with respect to the status of their loved ones. As a result, breakdowns in hand-off communications have been cited by The Joint Commission as the number-one cause of sentinel events in healthcare.
