Understanding a Vocera Carescape Adapter Configuration

Configure a Vocera Carescape Adapter to allow communication between the external GE Carescape system and the Vocera Platform.

Adapters send information to and receive information from the Vocera Platform, as well as monitor and collect data. Each adapter is configured to allow the Vocera Platform to communicate with a specific type of resource and any devices that resource may control.

The Vocera Carescape Adapter integrates alarm details from GE Carescape patient monitors with additional information provided by the facility to deliver a more complete context to caregiver devices responding to patient alerts. For example, the Vocera Carescape Adapter implements the GE Carescape broadcast message protocol to allow the Vocera Platform to receive monitor alarm information directly. Vocera Platform then can integrate available data to deliver meaningful information to caregivers via wireless devices and web browsers.

In the figure below, installers can see how information and data is communicated between systems.
