Configuring Carescape Location Types

Configure the fields in the Location Types section of the Vocera Carescape Adapter.

Location Type uses regular expressions to utilize the bed information within the alarm messages received from the GE Carescape network. When multiple facilities are supported by a single Carescape network, location types are also important in identifying the correct facility for each message received. To differentiate the facilities in an implementation, enter the appropriate attribute paths relating to each facility as part of the mapping of capture groups for each Location Type.

Access the Vocera Carescape Adapter configuration page, and locate the Location Types section.
Expand New Location Type to define the regular expressions needed to capture bed data. Select Add to create additional locations as needed.

Complete the configuration fields as described in the table, for new or existing adapters.

Configuration Field	Description
Reference Name	Enter a descriptive name to identify the location type. This field is required.
Active	Select this checkbox to indicate whether or not the location type is active.
Discard	Select this checkbox to not process the alarm message received if it matches this specific location type. Location types may be created for alarm messages which are expected to be received but are of no interest; by marking these for discard, the messages may be filtered from the audit log.
Regex	Enter the regular expression to capture values from the bed information within the clinical event received from the Carescape monitor. This field is required.
Regex Mapping	Enter one or more attributes or attribute paths, one per line, to be filled with data from the above regex. This field is required. Specify the regex mapping from the capture groups of the Regex field above to attribute paths starting from the Clinicals dataset. The paths from bed, room, unit and facility are required to link the alarm event to a patient bed.
Clone Location Type	Select Clone Location Type to create a duplicate configuration of the selected location type. The duplicate's reference name will be unique and will not be active, by default.
Remove Location Type	If more than one location type is created, the ability to remove a location type becomes active. Select Remove under the location type to remove it from the configuration.

Select one of the available options to exit the adapter configuration page. See Saving an Adapter for details.
