Mapping ADT Events

As CTS processes the HL7 feed, it encounters ADT events that trigger updates of care team information.

The following ADT events are recognized by CTS:

Table 1. ADT events
ADT event type Event type description Action
A01 Admit/Visit Notification Admit
A02 Transfer a Patient Transfer
A03 Discharge/End Visit Discharge
A06 Change an Outpatient to an Inpatient Admit
A07 Change an Inpatient to an Outpatient Discharge
A08 Update Patient Information Update
A13 Cancel Discharge/End Visit Update

By default, all other ADT events are ignored by CTS. However, you can configure CTS to map other ADT events as necessary so long as the information is relevant to the Vocera system.

The ADT mapping file is an XML file named adt-map.xml. The file must be saved in the \vocera\vcts\resources folder in order for CTS to load it.
