The Vocera VMP Adapter can be triggered to send alert messages to the VMP system when Vocera Platform receives data.
The alert message is composed using the static and dynamic values from the settings defined in the rule configuration. The message is sent to VMP using the username, password, and callback information from the adapter configuration, as well as the alert message, responses, and users to deliver to, based on the rule configuration and stored data.
See the Vocera Platform Dataset Guide for information about working with rules. See Configuring a Vocera VMP Adapter for information about adapter settings.
In the Adapter Settings, configure the Rule Settings fields to manage message delivery.

In configuration of the SEND ACCEPTED NOTIFICATION rule, care should be given to not contribute further to alarm fatigue for caregivers in choosing a default value for the priority field. |
