Lastly, management seems to think Vocera is a high growth asset with mid-teens sales growth, despite its long-term growth rate being just 11.4%.

The global digital care coordination and communication segment is in its infancy and is estimated to be approaching $1 billion today. However, we believe that the addressable opportunity is significantly larger and will further expand over time as hospitals prioritize investment in more modern communication and workflow solutions. The annual rate for the category is in the mid-teens and is accretive to the total Stryker growth rate making it an attractive market adjacency to continue to drive our growth profile. — Andy Pierce, Stryker Group President on M&A Call",
