Vocera Case Study: Elevating Patient Safety and Satisfaction at Saint Barnabas Medical Center with Instant Communication

The delivery of exceptional patient care and safety are core values shared by every hospital and health system in the United States. However, the path taken to achieve these goals and the end result can dramatically differ from hospital to hospital.

In this one-hour webinar, you will hear how Saint Barnabas Medical Center has taken specific aim at enhancing the delivery of care, safety, and well-being of patients by deploying Vocera — a wireless communication system enabling instant voice communication between nurses, physicians, and administrative staff.

Led by a diverse group of health system leaders, the session will examine the innovative ideas and best practices Saint Barnabas has deployed to achieve exceptional results with Vocera, including:

• Improving telemetry alert response times by 90%
• Eliminating ED diversions for three consecutive months
• Reducing overhead paging by 94%
• Enhancing HCAHPS scores by eliminating communication barriers between care teams and patients
