Modules: How VCS Is Organized

Vocera Collaboration Suite is organized into modules. Each module provides a useful communication capability.

The following modules are defined:

Accessing Modules
To access a module, tap its icon at the bottom of the screen. (To access the Call module, tap Call Log.)
Secure Messages
The Secure Messages module allows you to use messaging and chat-style conversations to communicate with VCS users or groups in your on-premises network. The security capabilities built into VCS ensure that sensitive data, such as patient medical information, is transmitted securely.
Call
The VCS application includes the Call module, which enables fast, simple, person-to-person voice connection over your company's wireless network.
Contacts
The Contacts module is designed to allow you to communicate quickly with any person or group for which you have contact information. It ensures that you can deliver vital information immediately.
Schedule
The Schedule module lists the schedules that the Vocera administrator has created that include you. A schedule specifies the dates and times that each member of an On-Call Distribution List is to be on-shift in a particular location or performing a specified activity.
On-Call
The On-Call module displays the On-Call Distribution Lists of which you are a member.
Content
The Content module allows you to access documents and other content that your Vocera administrator has placed on the server.
Help
The Help module provides access to an online version of this guide. Onscreen help is also available.
