VCE system requirements

What's New in VCE 5.8.0

The Vocera Care Experience 5.8.0 solution provides the new features described in this section.

The Care Rounds and Staff Rounds modules now allow you to configure up to 20 types of rounds per unit. (VCE-209, VCE-7)

The previous limit was 6 round types per unit.
The Care Rounds module now has access to diagnostic information to assist in rounding. (VCE-9)

This diagnostic information is provided to the VCE system by the EHR feed.
You may now filter or display the Length of Stay (LOS) for a patient in the Care Rounds module by either days or hours. The LOS is configured by unit. (VCE-189)

Previously you could view these values in days only.

The Preferred Phone Number field in the Care Calls module allows you to enter a specific phone number for contact purposes. (VCE-226)

The value in the Primary Phone Number field in Care Calls comes from the EHR feed and cannot be edited. If the Primary Phone Number is not appropriate, you may manually provide a number in the Preferred Phone Number field.

The Census by Round Type data on the Census Analytics Care Rounds dashboard in the Business Intelligence module now displays all dates in the specified range, not just dates on which rounding occurred. (VCE-219)

In previous versions, the chart omitted days when rounding did not occur.
The Census Analytics Care Rounds dashboard in the Business Intelligence module now includes a filter for the type of care round to report upon. (VCE-218)
The Business Intelligence module now displays and exports values for all data points. (VCE-197)

Previously you could only approximate the value by looking and selecting the data element of the graph.

The new Care Calls Comments CSV report in Manage Report Subscriptions is available by subscription. (VCE-73)

This report allows you to share comments and staff recognitions.
The new Percentage of Rounds by Census PDF report allows you to view the percentage (and number) of patients in the daily census who have received at least one round. (VCE-168)
The new Round Type filter allows you to select the Round Type for the report you are scheduling. (VCE-74)
The Unit Usage CSV report now includes a Daily Census field and the percentage of census patients with rounds. (VCE-193)

The Daily Census field can be displayed by all activity from the ADT feed for the 24-hour period or for the 7 am census snapshot.
The new Care Rounds Question Class CSV report displays the survey question, question class, and details around the response rates and percentages. (VCE-194)

What's Fixed

This section provides information about fixed product defects and limitations in the current release.

The begin and end dates in the Business Intelligence module do not update dynamically, resulting in incorrect dates being displayed. (VCE-164)

This situation no longer occurs, and accurate dates are displayed in Business Intelligence.

The Delete Rounds dialog box is incorrectly labeled as Move a Care Round. (VCE-104)

The dialog box is now labeled correctly as Delete Rounds.
