Vocera HL7 Adapter

Release Notes - Version 1.6.1.11

Updated: July 8, 2024

About the Vocera HL7 Adapter

The Vocera HL7 Adapter is used to connect with an existing HL7 capable system. By creating multiple HL7 adapter instances, an installation can allow for communication with different departments and system types within a single facility.

A Vocera HL7 Adapter is used to communicate with any other system or database that is HL7 capable. It brings the pertinent information, such as lab results, to the Vocera Platform and stores those events in the Data Manager. This information is then potentially later sent to the recipient database of that HL7 message based upon appliance configurations. The content of the message varies depending on the HL7 configuration in the appliance, but an HL7 message may include data such as patient information and history, lab results, and radiology reports.
