Healthcare Workplace Violence. Staffing Pressures. We Have Solutions.

March, 2022

Hospital leaders are facing staffing pressures like we’ve never seen before. At the same time, violence against healthcare workers is on the rise.

Our new eGuide showcases five healthcare organizations that are using Vocera solutions to ease the burden of patient care workflows and safeguard care teams against workplace violence. Read the eGuide to learn how these healthcare providers are:

• Enabling more efficient communication and workflows for better outcomes
• Providing healthcare workers with a discreet way to summon help in an emergency
• Equipping staff to communicate safely hands-free, even under restrictive PPE
• Mitigating some common sources of frustration that may escalate to conflict or workplace violence
• Making it easy for staff to communicate with patients’ loved ones

As role vacancies leave gaps in the care process, our solutions can play a role in bridging those gaps by enabling people to communicate effectively and the right information to flow to the right people in a timely way to improve patient safety and care quality.

Here’s a quick view of three of the five organizations highlighted in this guide. They’re using Vocera hands-free wearable communication devices and smartphone mobile applications integrated with key clinical systems to make workflows more efficient, strengthen safety, and improve patient satisfaction.
