University of Iowa to implement Voalte’s smartphone solution hospital-wide

Voalte announced recently its selection by University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to implement its smartphone solution throughout the facility. The system helps improve clinical workflow by using the versatile iPhone platform to merge voice, text and alarms.

With Voalte’s hospital-proven point-of-care communications system, patient care providers will be able to send and receive high-definition voice calls, secure text messages and alarms on one device. The benefits will include improved response times, integration of devices and increased patient safety and satisfaction.

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is Iowa’s largest medical facility and its only comprehensive academic medical and regional referral center, serving as a major full-service health care center for the Midwest. University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics was the first hospital in Iowa to earn the Magnet Hospital Designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and has been consistently recognized as one of America’s best hospitals for both adults and children by US News & World Report. The 729-bed facility selected Voalte’s smartphone communications system following a rigorous testing process.
