Vocera Collaboration Suite is a healthcare mobile application that provides real-time situational awareness and actionable patient data to inform clinical decisions so that care team members can easily communicate and collaborate, improving the experience of the patient and the caregiver.

This release includes the following new and enhanced features and functionality.

• Tone/vibration enhancements when joining or leaving conversations

  When a user is added to a conversation, the user now receives an audible tone or vibration, depending on settings. When a user leaves a conversation, an audible tone or vibration is now no longer sent to all users remaining in the conversation.

• Alarm and message tones now differentiated

  You can now set different audible tones or vibrations for incoming messages and incoming third-party alarms.

• Expiration times for call and message forwarding

  You can now specify a length of time for either call forwarding or message forwarding. Forwarding stops when the expiration time interval ends.

No changes in product behavior in this release.

You must be using a supported device and operating system to be able to run Vocera Collaboration Suite.

This release includes the following fixes.

This release includes the following known issues and limitations for versions of the Vocera Collaboration Suite running on Apple iOS operating systems.

• VCS-18273 If you receive a notification of an urgent or high priority message while in a Vocera call or cellular call, the notification does not continue after the call is terminated. This is a known issue with the Apple iOS operating system.

• VCS-19053 The incoming notification for a new message is not displayed when you are in the face ID pop up screen. If you lock the screen or the timeout interval is reached, the message is displayed. This is an iOS limitation.

• VCS-20337 If your device is running iOS version 15.0.2 and you install VCS for the first time on the device, messages may be received silently without a notification tone. Terminating the app and restarting it will correct this issue, as will updating to iOS 15.1 or later. This problem occurs on iOS 15.0.2 only.
