• Care Role Forwarding (CRF) to a BYOD Device (Device Phone)
  • Description: When a caregiver is on a BYOD device and assigned to a care role configured with CRF, a cell phone number is required in the Vocera Edge Settings so the caregiver can be reached. If the device in use does not yet have one configured, the caregiver will be prompted to enter the number. The number will auto-populate as a non-modifiable “Device Phone” entry in Enterprise Manager, Caregiver, Contacts. When the commonly known care role extension is dialed, Vocera Edge will call the assigned caregiver's device phone. After a defined amount of time, if there is no answer (reaching someone’s voicemail is considered an “answered call”), Vocera Edge will dial the CRF fallback number (if configured). Once the caregiver is unassigned from the care role, his or her device number will be cleared from the calling logic so as not to call that caregiver when not appropriate.
  • Configuration and Maintenance: To toggle CRF to Cellular on, go to: Enterprise Manager, Settings, Security, Advanced Settings, and select Care Role Forwarding Cellular Update Enabled.

• Option to hide video panels during a video call
  • Description: Users have the option to hide the video panels located on the bottom of the screen. These panels display the other video participants. This may be useful in certain scenarios, where being able to view the image on the entire screen is more useful than seeing the other participants.

• First name, first initial of last name added to video panels

• "Care Team" added as a choice when adding users to an ongoing call
