SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 1, 2014 - Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE: VCRA), the leading provider of integrated, intelligent communication solutions for mission-critical mobile environments, today announced that Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Bridget Duffy, MD, will be a featured speaker at the Governance Institute's 2014 Spring System Invitational, April 6-8 at the Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation in Tampa, Fla.

Dr. Duffy's plenary session, "Innovation on the Human Experience of Care," will be held on Monday, April 7, from 8:30-10:15 a.m. ET. During this session, Dr. Duffy will share approaches for accelerating patient-centered technologies and solutions, mapping the gaps in communication and performance using efficiency plus empathy, engaging physicians in this work, and designing a checklist of Always Events® that restore humanity to healthcare to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. She will also discuss the critical role of trustees in leading this transformation in healthcare.

"In healthcare today, we can no longer solely focus on stripping out waste and cost reduction to inspire change, drive growth and build loyalty. True differentiation depends on disrupting the status quo with innovative solutions that improve communication and the experience of care for patients, families and staff," said Dr. Duffy.

As the leader of the patient experience movement, Dr. Duffy has spent more than 20 years defining and sharing the components of an optimal healing environment. She was recently named one of the "Top 50 in Digital Healthcare" by Rock Health, and has been featured in HealthLeaders magazine as one of "20 People Who Make Healthcare Better."

Prior to her appointment as CMO at Vocera, Dr. Duffy co-founded and served as Chief Executive Officer of ExperiaHealth, a company whose mission was to assist organizations with accelerating improvement in staff and patient experience through technologies and solutions that restore the human connection in healthcare. ExperiaHealth was acquired by Vocera and now drives the company's thought leadership and research as the Experience Innovation Network.
