Configure an Vocera Shift Admin Adapter to enable communication with 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.
Shift Admin is used by hospitals for on-call physician scheduling, and the application can also manage vacation requests, schedule assignments, and checks for policy violations and staffing balance. Vocera Platform can access and store the Shift Admin scheduling information, which can then be made available to end users with supported devices, such as Vocera Vina, VCS, and the Vocera badges.
Each area of specialty in a hospital (Respiratory, Emergency, etc.) has an assigned Shift Admin on-call group, which represents the currently on-call staff available for the group. The Vocera Shift Admin Adapter translates each schedule entry in the Shift Admin schedule into a (potentially future) Assignment in the Vocera Platform
The Assignment Manager is then used to mark those assignments as active (current) and expired. Then the Vocera Assignment Group Sync Adapter is used to synchronize the active assignments with a Vocera Platform group, based on the assignment role and location.
If needed for VCS or badge integration, then the Vocera Voice Group Sync Adapter is used to synchronize those groups with Vocera Voice Server groups.
