The Vocera Assignment Manager Adapter enables staff assignment and staff scheduling systems that require additional types of management to have accurate assignment information. These systems may use a different model for their assignment data, or they may provide the assignment data with start and end dates (including future data) and therefore need the Vocera Platform to manage the state transitions.

For assignment systems that do not notify Vocera Platform with the state changes, the Vocera Assignment Manager Adapter provides automated updating of assignment state by defining rules for marking assignments as started and ended when the assignment system provides the future start and end dates. Assignments that are patient-centric are managed by updating assignment data as key patient data changes (bed and status). A link attribute allows assignment data updates between the Assignments and Patients datasets.
