Appendixes / Entering Spoken Names |
The Vocera system supports the following standard acronyms and abbreviations for the healthcare industry as part of the static grammar. You can embed these healthcare acronyms within group names. Spaces in an acronym are optional and can be omitted. For example, you can enter "MICU Charge Nurse" instead of "M I C U Charge Nurse". When one of these acronyms is used in a group name, users can pronounce either the letters in the acronym (for example, "M I C U") or the acronym itself (for example, "Mick You") to call the group.
