SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, is hosting a webinar about Code
Lavender®, a powerful approach for addressing care team burnout
and well-being. The
complimentary webinar is Thursday, March 15, from 2-3 p.m. EDT and
will provide tools for designing a successful Code Lavender program.
Code Lavender is an integrative healing equivalent of a Code Blue. A
formalized rapid response, a Code Lavender program is designed to
support patients, families, physicians, nurses, and staff members in
times of emotional distress. Code Lavender services provide valuable
resources that can support and strengthen individual resilience after
being presented with a difficult case, diagnosis, or loss.
First launched as Patient Lavender at North Hawaii Community Hospital by
Earl Bakken, founder of Medtronic, Code Lavender has evolved and
expanded across healthcare organizations. For the past 15 years, Vocera
Chief Medical Officer Bridget Duffy, MD, has been introducing and
implementing the program in hospitals around the world. This webinar,
moderated by Dr. Duffy, will feature the Code Lavender program at Santa
Clara Valley Medical Center in California, where the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) has integrated a holistic approach to caring for staff
and supporting care team well-being.
Join Jill Sproul, Chief Nursing Officer at Santa Clara Valley Medical
Center, Nancy Nielsen, NICU Unit Nurse, and Dr. Bridget Duffy for this
online event. These three healthcare leaders will discuss how to plan,
implement and communicate an impactful Code Lavender response program. Click
