By providing real-time communication between clinicians and other healthcare workers, Vocera technology provides notification when a task needs to be performed. As a result, healthcare providers can expect improved communication and decision-making and measurable reductions in cycle time associated with key healthcare workflow. These capabilities provide both cost savings and simplification of communications throughout the enterprise. Additionally, a significantly reduced need for pagers and phones results in less "noise" on a unit or floor, enhancing patient satisfaction.

"Siemens has the deep healthcare technology and operational expertise needed to understand and deliver an effective Vocera solution," said Paul Scott, vice president, sales, Vocera. "Their innovative delivery approach positions Vocera as a core component of an overall healthcare workflow improvement solution and helps customers move beyond mobile voice communication and derive maximum value from their Siemens and Vocera investments. With its comprehensive set of value-added technical and clinical services, Siemens will be an extremely effective sales and support partner for Vocera and its customers."
