Operational Excellence

Achieve Operational Excellence in Healthcare

Operational excellence in hospitals can be achieved through a multi-faceted approach designed to use resources efficiently, increase revenue, and reduce expenses. A key aspect to driving operational excellence is optimizing care team collaboration. Vocera helps you do this by integrating communication technology and workflows with key clinical IT systems such as electronic health records (EHR), nurse call, and physiological monitoring systems.

Proven results include increased operating room efficiency and emergency department throughput while maintaining high levels of security and patient privacy. Adopting the right set of policies and technology can ultimately lead to improvements in patient care, staff satisfaction and the hospital’s bottom line.

Increase Emergency Department Throughput

In an emergency, gaps in communication can mean life or death. Vocera empowers care team members and staff inside and outside the emergency department to connect with each other instantly, improving collaboration, efficiency and patient throughput, and ultimately helping to save lives.

Increase Operating Room Efficiency, Turnover

In the operating room (OR), delays caused by inefficient communication can be costly. Vocera is used in many hospitals to help improve care team collaboration, reduce OR turnover time, and increase on-time surgery starts.

Secure Data and Protect Patient Privacy

From ensuring data integrity to preventing internal staff from mishandling data, network security demands enterprise-grade, secure communication software and hardware to keep protected health information (PHI) safe.

Prioritize and Respond to Critical Alerts and Alarms

Vocera enables care teams to assign, prioritize, and respond to certain alarms and alerts. This intelligent workflow capability directs critical and non-urgent alerts with contextual data to the right care team member, saving valuable time, and reducing alarm fatigue.

Optimize Patient Placement and Bed Use

Efficient communication between nurses and hospital transport personnel increases patient throughput, which improves operational performance, patient experience, and staff satisfaction.

Florida’s Health First Hospitals Save Time with Vocera

When you can cut out 2 or 3 minutes from a workflow, it’s better for the nurses and staff, it’s better for the hospital’s productivity, and it’s better for the patient. Vocera saves at least 10 minutes per nurse per shift. When you multiply that by the number of nurses on duty on any given day, that’s a huge time savings.
