ATO and FIPS Certification for DoD
Vocera solutions meet U.S. Army and Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for an integrated communication system that facilitates safe, effective, and timely communication to enhance patient care delivery. No vendor of communication solutions for healthcare comes close to our depth and breadth of security credentials and validation. Most don’t have any of these credentials at all:
- The U.S. Army awarded our core voice solution an Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Defense Health Agency (DHA), based on compliance with the security and risk management requirements specified by the U.S. DoD Information Assurance Process (DIACAP).
- The U.S. DoD granted Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification to our core communications systems. To attain this certification we completed rigorous interoperability and information assurance certification. Access The DoD Unified Capabilities (UC) Approved Products List (APL).
- Vocera received FIPS 140-2 certification for the Vocera Badge, certificate #2107. See Vocera FIPS 140-2 validation.
Vocera integrated communication systems are the Army MEDCOM standard, and are currently deployed in facilities such as:
- Evans Army Hospital in Fort Carson, Colorado
- Trippler Army Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii
- Fort Belvoir Community Hospital in Fort Belvoir, Virginia
