Vocera technology implementation will extend into the new 90,000-square-foot Jupiter Medical Center Surgical Institute which is anticipated to open in 2023.
Jupiter Medical Center vice-president and chief information officer Kevin Olson said: “Unifying communication and collaboration from one vendor streamlines operations for our clinicians and IT professionals.
“It gives us flexibility on the devices we can use and minimises the number of disparate technologies, which helps reduce the number of alerts, alarms, notification, and interruptions.”
By deploying the wearable Vocera Smartbadge and the Vocera Edge smartphone application, Jupiter Medical Center will enable care team members to connect and communicate.

Jupiter Medical Center vice-president and chief nursing officer Pamela Canter said: “Standardised communication and system integration will increase satisfaction among our dedicated caregivers and ultimately enhance patient care.”

With this application, nurses and other healthcare professionals can send secure texts, photos, and video updates at the time of patient rounds to designated friends as well as families.
