EVS 1.0.1 requires one of the following Vocera components (in production and staging environments):

• One of the following versions of Vocera Voice Server:

  • Vocera Voice Server versions 5.0.1 or greater (to support the Start Break, End Break, and End Shift voice commands)

  • Vocera Voice Server versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.4 (for EVS integration without the voice commands)

• An available VMI port to allow the Voice Server to connect to the Vocera Integration Platform server.

  Note: Vocera provides a VMI port as part of the purchase of the EVS solution.

EVS requires the following ADT components:

• Epic Systems 2014 (Production and staging environments)

• The Epic Environmental Services module

• A web services end point dedicated to the Vocera Environmental Services Integration in your Epic system.

In addition, EVS requires a dedicated email service account on your mail server. If you already have a Vocera Voice Server, do not re-use its existing email account.
