Vocera
Communications, Inc.
(NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, today announced that it will host
a webinar with Upstate University Hospital about Strategies
for Improving Physician Communication and Patient Experience
on
Tuesday, June 11, at 1 p.m. ET. The free online event will be moderated
by Bridget Duffy, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Vocera.

“Building trusted relationships between patients and their nurses and
doctors starts with effective communication,” said Dr. Duffy, who will
lead a discussion with Amit Dhamoon, MD, PhD, internist at
Upstate University Hospital and associate professor of medicine at SUNY
Upstate Medical University; and Karen Wentworth, MPH, MSW, RRT, Director
of Patient Experience at State University of New York and Upstate
University Hospital.

Dr. Dhamoon worked closely with Wentworth to design a unique way to
improve physician communication and patient experience using real-time
feedback captured with Vocera Rounds, a mobile application that enables
clinicians to customize patient-centric questions, easily capture
answers and observations, and track trends per person and department.
Physician communication rounding is one of many rounds customized,
implemented and hardwired across more than 30 units at Upstate
University Hospital.

Wentworth collaborates with Dr. Dhamoon and nurse leaders throughout the
organization to design questions specific to each type of round. Webinar
participants will learn how using a patient-centric, mobile solution can
improve clinician communication and patient engagement, which impacts
care experience, compliance and outcomes.

“The Vocera Rounds solution helps clinicians have meaningful
conversations with patients and their families, which help improve
engagement, education and understanding,” said Dr. Dhamoon.

More than three million rounds have been conducted across the country in
hospitals using the Vocera Rounds solution. To register for this
