Configuring the Environmental Services Integration / Configuring the Epic-EVS Integration |
The web services integration allows EVS to send status updates to the Epic Environmental Services module when Vocera device users engage in voice interactions. For example, device users may issue commands such as "Begin break" or respond to a cleaning request with an "In progress" status.
Specify any parameters for the web services integration in the <epicRestWebService> section of the pluginproperties.xml file, a structured XML document. You can customize the following main features of the web services integration:
Web services endpoint URL
The web services integration requires you to provide a web services end point dedicated to the Vocera Environmental Services Integration in your Epic system.
Retry settings for "Cleaning request complete" status updates
If a Vocera device user states that a cleaning request is complete, the Vocera Environmental Services Integration attempts to update the cleaning request status in the Epic Environmental services module. That is, when a user responds with a "Yes" to the prompt "Do you want to mark this request complete", Vocera initiates a web service request to notify Epic of the change in status. If the initial web service request fails, the values in the <complete><retry> section determine how often Vocera attempts to retry the web service request.
Retry settings for "Cleaning request in progress" status updates
If a Vocera device user states that a cleaning request is in progress, the Vocera Environmental Services Integration attempts to update the cleaning request status in the Epic Environmental services module. That is, when a user responds with a "Yes" to the prompt "Do you want to mark this request in progress", Vocera initiates a web service request to notify Epic of the change in status. If the initial web service request fails, the values in the <inprogress><retry> section determine how often Vocera attempts to retry the web service request.
