Using Department Names

If your Vocera administrator has set up departments, they are a convenient way to contact other users on the Vocera system.

When you use a department in a voice command, Vocera can:

• Differentiate among users with the same first and last names.

  For example, if your site has two users named John Smith, you can issue the voice command "Call John Smith in Hardware".

• Identify a Vocera user when you know the first name and department, but not the last name, of other people at your site.

  For example, you can issue the voice command "Call Sue in Hardware".

Action	Recommended Voice Commands
Call a user with a department name	Call John Smith in Hardware.
Call a user with first name and department	Call Sue in Hardware.
