Vocera


Our hospital has used the Vocera communications system since this summer. It first started in acute care units, and has now extended down to my unit – the transitional care unit. The Vocera system is “a breakthrough wireless platform that provides hands-free, voice communication throughout an 802.11 b/g networked building or campus” (Vocera Communications Inc., 2008). The Vocera communications badge is a wearable device that weighs less than two ounces. By putting the badge on my collar and calling another user’s name, I can instantly talk to the user.

This afternoon a family member came to the unit and said that he had an appointment with the charge nurse. I simply called the charge nurse’s name through the badge and I was connected with the charge nurse right away. It was convenient and only cost me one minute. Without Vocera, I would check the whole unit and call her office to find her. It would cost me around five minutes. The system is able to save time and enable me to manage my work effectively. I am very excited to use it. This new technology greatly facilitates nursing.

IEEE 802.11 is a standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication protocol. Therefore the Vocera is able to communicate the intranet in your unit. Fastly, effectively information exchange. Link your location and activitiy with the administor of your "boss". I would not like it.
