Configure a Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter to control compliance event log retention for the Vocera Platform.
The Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter allows the facility to log significant compliance events, such as a user login or access to protected health information (PHI), and to access those logs. A separate compliance event log file is created for each day. Logs can be archived to a remote storage location, or they can be retained on the system.
This adapter's configuration is used to control the compliance event log retention. Logs can be retained on the system for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 6 years. Log files that are older than the configured retention timeframe are deleted; an audit warning is provided 30 days before the first log file is deleted. If remote archiving is configured, the daily log files are moved to the archive location as they are completed.
Log files can be accessed by authorized users on the system. A user can select the year and month to access and then select a link containing a day's logged compliance events for download. Alternatively, users can download the logged events for the current day.
The following diagram shows the Vocera Platform implementation in a facility. Currently only the Vocera XMPP Adapter is making calls to the Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter to create log entries, but multiple adapters can be supported.
