CAREERS CUSTOMER SUPPORT MENU MENU MENU MENU Home >> Engage Intelligent Workflow Engine Minimize Interruption Fatigue Engage Intelligent Workflow Engine In too many hospitals, clinicians are bombarded with alarms, most of which don’t require clinical intervention. At the same time, they face delays in receiving critical information from the EHR and other systems. It all adds up to interruption fatigue and toil, and it puts patient safety at risk. Vocera Engage works behind the scenes to make it easy for care teams to prioritize and respond to alarm notifications, communicate, and deliver safer patient care.

Ancillary alarms contributed to interruption fatigue and alarm desensitization. Unnecessary noise was also disruptive and overstimulated the infants. Needed a solution that would send ancillary patient monitor alarm notifications only when nurses were away from the primary patient monitor. Used existing RTLS to establish a continuous nurse location signal in the NICU and share it with the Vocera alarm management system. 0% Reduced secondary alerts by 54% within 30 days 0% Decreased ancillary, non-clinical alarm notifications by 27% 0% Decreased alarm fatigue by 63% Discover More Discover Vocera Engage How to Strengthen Patient Safety: Connect Care Teams and Improve Clinical Workflow Having a scalable, flexible communication strategy relies on connecting all the people and information needed to deliver care.
