Case Study: North Valley Health Center achieves improved staff safety and faster clinical communication with Stryker's Vocera Smartbadge
A Stryker Case Study
Strengthening Physical and Psychological Staff Safety; Making Workflows More Efficient
North Valley Health Center (NVHC) is a 12‑bed Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinic in Warren, MN, serving northwest Minnesota. With care teams dispersed across the facility and staff frequently unable to leave patients, NVHC needed a way to improve clinical communication, strengthen staff safety and efficiency, and enhance the patient experience.
NVHC deployed Vocera Smartbadges plus Vocera Vina and nurse‑call integration to enable hands‑free voice communication, deliver nurse‑call alerts and lab results directly to clinicians, and connect teams instantly. The solution sped response times, helped staff summon immediate assistance in urgent situations, boosted patient and staff safety, and streamlined workflows for a better overall experience.
