No new or enhanced features in this release.

Features marked with an asterisk (*) require Vocera Platform 6.6.

• Configurable in-app help

  You can now access Vocera Vina training videos from your app. You can specify a page containing links to videos that have been created for your facility. By default, the app displays the Vocera Minute: Vocera Vina | See How it Works page.

• Improved detection of linkable phone numbers in messages

  The pattern matching to detect phone numbers in message text has been improved. When a phone number is found, a link to that number is automatically provided in the text. This makes it easier to return emergency calls.

• Simplified navigation includes unread message count

  The navigation button at the top left corner of conversation, patient information, settings, and archive screens now returns you to the Home screen. If you have conversations with unread messages, a count of these conversations is also displayed.

• Coverage improvements

  The coverage feature, which enables one user to cover for another user who is unavailable, has been improved in this release:

  • Your presence indicator now indicates whether you are providing coverage for another user.
  • If you are being covered by another user and a message is sent to a group conversation of which you are a member, the conversation is now displayed in the Covered section on the Home screen. This makes it easier to determine what messages were sent while you were unavailable.
  • When you are being covered by another user, the Presence screen now displays who is covering for you and for how long.

• * Vina can now be paired with a Minibadge

  You can now specify that a Minibadge is to be paired with your Vina app using Bluetooth. When the app and device are paired, login information is sent from Vina to the Minibadge and the user is logged in on both devices. Some basic Minibadge settings can be seen and modified from Vina.

• * Customized tones for calls and messages

  You can now select a custom tone for your calls and for your messages if your group has been granted this permission on the Vocera Platform. This enables you to more easily recognize that a Vina user has attempted to contact you. You can select from the list of tones provided on the server.

• Urgent alarm tones can now play continuously

  The system can now be configured to enable alarm tones for Urgent priority messages to play continuously until you respond. This ensures that urgent situations are always noticed and responded to. This capability is configured on the XMPP adapter that enables the Vina app to communicate with the server.

• Favorites now easier to create and remove

  You can now create a favorite either from the Menu screen or by tapping a profile picture or initials of a user, group, or department that appears in search results when you start a new conversation or call. Contact phone numbers can now be created as favorites.

• Tone for new alarm played if higher or same priority

  If you are hearing a tone for an alarm and a new alarm arrives with the same or higher priority, the Vina app plays the tone for the new alarm.

• Vina now certified with Imprivata

  Vina is now a verified Imprivata partner app, as it has been fully integrated with the Imprivata MDA solution.

No new changes in product behavior in this release.

• Coverage status shows in presence indicator

  If you are being covered, your presence indicator is now set to Unavailable.

• Default tone for messages changed

  The default tone that you hear when you receive a message is now identical to the tone played on the Apple iOS version of Vina.

• Presence unavailable indicator updated to support color-blind

  The presence indicator for Unavailable users is now a white dashed line inside a red circle. This makes it easier for users with color-blindness issues to determine whether a user is unavailable.

• UC-20756 When Imprivata is installed on the device, the app screen no longer flashes when you open Vina again after logging out.

• UC-20511 Logging into Vocera Vina now no longer fails if the domain is controlled by a Master Data Management (MDM) application and credentials are provided using the Imprivata MDA.

• UC-20607, UC-20608 When referring to a patient in a group chat or care team chat, the patient ID is now set properly.

• UC-20614 The app no longer freezes when you view unit details after having multi-selected from a list of patients.
