Research findings and report to be released during virtual briefing on May 1, 2018

San Jose, CA – April 30, 2018 – Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical communication and workflow solutions, is releasing a research report in conjunction with HIMSS Analytics about the impact of interruptions on clinician stress and burnout. Vocera worked closely with HIMSS Analytics to design a survey that was conducted during the 2018 HIMSS Conference and Exhibition.

Approximately 150 clinical and IT leaders from health systems, hospitals and outpatient facilities participated in the study. Findings from the research will be released during a HIMSS Learning Center free virtual briefing on May 1, from 1-2 p.m. ET.

Bryan Fiekers, senior director of research services at HIMSS Analytics will discuss survey results, interruption challenges in clinical workflows, and how interruption fatigue is impacting patient care and clinician well-being. Benjamin Kanter, MD, chief medical information officer at Vocera will address these finding and discuss ways clinical and IT leaders can monitor, measure, and manage interruptions to improve clinician resilience and patient experience.

“It’s not enough to view multiple technology vendors’ usage reports on interruptions in isolation and manually compile data to decipher trends,” said Dr. Kanter. “We must find a solution that aggregates the data and tells the complete story to understand a day in a life of a physician or nurse and help simplify their workflows and reduce interruption fatigue.”
