Staff Assignment in Vocera Engage

Use the Staff Assignment component of the Web Console to assign care team members or roles to locations or patients. It allows you to view departments and search for staff members within a department, send messages to care team or individual staff members, remove a staff assignment, and add notes related to a patient.

Staff Assignment is a feature for managing the handling of assignments in the system. In an integrated environment, when an assignment is created on any client, all other clients are updated to have that assignment. For example, if an assignment is created from Engage, then that assignment is reflected in Edge.

An assignment is an association of a care team member or a role to a location (Location Assignments), or a care team member and a role to a patient (Patient Assignments).
