This release includes enhancements to several components of Vocera Engage.

• Data Validation Update

  The system validates that imported data is properly formatted.

• Addition of Alert Throttling

  Alert throttling is added to Engage with the following options:

  • System level throttling is enabled by default to protect the system from sending to more than 1200 recipients at a time without batching the delivery with 90 second intervals.
  • Standard throttling can be enabled on individual rules, allowing customers to batch deliveries of non-urgent alerts when there are more than 100 recipients.

• Upgrade Enhancements

  The following features are added:

  • The operating system is using RHEL 8.
  • The system configuration is validated both pre-upgrade and post-upgrade.
  • Patient data received on the active node during the upgrade of a standby node is no longer lost when using the Limited Downtime Upgrade Path.

• Scalability Enhancement

  The auto-scale feature now automatically assigns available host resources more efficiently for Engage deployments.

• High Availability Improvement

  The system performs a failover to recover if it detects that queue processing is unresponsive.

• UI Updates for Non-Voice Customers

  The Engage Console is updated. It only displays information that is relevant to the customer's configuration.

• Staff Assignment Communications Updates

  Right click roles to show a quick menu, including Messages, when using XMPP.
