Assigning Staff Members to Beds

The Assignments tab allows you to assign up to eight staff members to each bed or role in a hospital unit, although your system may be configured to allow fewer than eight assignments. The list of staff members you can assign is defined by the unit. If you cannot find a person in the list, you can also use the Find Staff field to find any staff member. If a staff member that you find is currently not assigned to the unit, you can choose to add him or her.

Nurses are typically assigned to multiple beds. However, you cannot assign one staff member multiple times to the same bed.

Note: In the Administration Console, the system administrator or group manager can assign more than eight staff members (users) to a bed (group).
