The Healthcare Listener is a service that receives ADT messages from a healthcare management system and allows traffic to pass securely from the healthcare management system to the Jamf Software Server (JSS).

To use the Healthcare Listener, you must install an Infrastructure Manager instance. When you install an instance of the Jamf Infrastructure Manager, the JSS allows you to enable and configure the Healthcare Listener.

After the Healthcare Listener is enabled and configured, it can receive ADT messages. When the Healthcare Listener receives an ADT message, the JSS interprets the message to automatically send remote commands to mobile devices based on rules you configure. (For more information about the communication process of the Healthcare Listener, see the Healthcare Listener Communication Knowledge Base article.)

For example, you could configure a rule so that when the Healthcare Listener receives a "Patient Discharge" ADT message, the JSS sends a Wipe Device command to the device assigned to the patient room.

After a remote command is sent to a mobile device, you can view the date/time of the remote command for a specific mobile device in the device's inventory information.
