SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, announced today that U.S. Army
Regional Health Command-Pacific (RHC-P) is expanding Vocera technology
at three military facilities. This $2.8 million contract completes a
record year of federal bookings across the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) and Veteran Health Administration (VA). This agreement with RHC-P,
a U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) region, includes a new deployment
of Vocera solutions at Brian Allgood Army Hospital in Korea and a large
expansion at Tripler Army Medical Center and Schofield Barracks Health
Clinic in Honolulu.
Building out the MEDCOM global vision of standardizing communication
with Vocera technology, Tripler is expanding the wearable technology
enterprise-wide. The mobile solution is now being deployed across the
entire acute care facility, to its outpatient clinics on base, and to
the Schofield Barracks Health Clinic. Tripler, the largest medical
center in the RHC-P, is one of many DoD facilities around the world
where Vocera technology is being expanded or deployed to improve patient
care, safety and satisfaction. Brian Allgood Army Hospital joins a
growing list of federal organizations transforming the healthcare
experience with Vocera technology.
“We are very proud to serve military hospitals and improve the
healthcare experience for soldiers, veterans, families and care teams
around the world,” said Brent Lang, president and CEO of Vocera. “Our
success in the federal government validates the unique advantages of our
communication platform and how Vocera solutions can enhance patient care
delivery in any healthcare system or mission-critical environment. We
expect our momentum within the DoD and VA to continue over time as we
add new facilities and cross sell within existing customers.”
No other communication technology comes close to the depth of security
credentials needed to support federal healthcare facilities. Vocera
recently received a new Authority to Operate (ATO) from the DoD, based
on compliance with strict security requirements and risk assessments
outlined in the Risk Management Framework (RMF). Additionally, the
wearable Vocera Communication Badge meets all federal government
requirements, is FIPS 140-2 compliant, and Joint Interoperability Test
Command (JITC) certified.
