All Vocera devices will be now able to receive data-rich alerts and notification through EXTENSION’s clinical workflow software. These include the Vocera smartphone and communication badge.

Data from clinical and IT systems and medical devices is aggregated by EXTENSION. A variety of endpoints are then delivered time-sensitive messages by EXTENSION. These include the Vocera badge. Highly-regarded among clinicians, Vocera badge is a wearable communication device. Healthcare professionals are able to make more informed decisions regarding treatment with the context-aware messages. These include nurse call alerts or abnormal lab results.
In a release, Todd Plesko CEO of EXTENSION said, “Vocera is not only a recognized market-leading innovator in healthcare communications but we have also come to believe that the Vocera system becomes cultural within a nursing unit - nurses love using the Vocera communication solution.”
According to Plesko, clinical alerting, notification, and messaging between Vocera systems and many systems within a hospitals is now provided by EXTENSION. The organization is proud to offer an enhancement to the experience. The value and productivity of the Vocera system has also been enhanced by EXTENSION, added Plesko.
Device Messaging is an innovative solution which has been recently launched by EXTENSION. Secure, non-SMS text-based messaging has been used to integrate corporate phones with smart phones and Vocera endpoints. Clinicians can therefore instantly communicate with their preferred device in the blended communication environment. Advanced message response options are also provided by EXTENSION to further streamline workflows.
Instant communication between patients and clinicians within enterprise settings is facilitated with the revolutionary healthcare software solutions from EXTENSION. A broad array of communication devices used as clinical workflow tools are enhanced by the EXTENSION Solution Suite or ESS. Data from various HIS and IT systems is aggregated for the same. Context-aware, time-critical alerts and notifications are then delivered to the included mobile devices.
Any HL7 or web services-based medical application or device is tightly integrated with corporate telephony systems and other endpoints by the EXTENSION software platform. Standards-based protocols are used for the integration. Efficient communication is therefore provided.
