Assigning Beds or Roles to Units

The Bed/Role tab allows the system administrator to select the beds and roles that are available in each unit. A bed is any Vocera group associated with a patient. A role is a Vocera dynamic group that contains staff members who perform a specific role or task. For example, Charge Nurse could be a role. Only a Vocera user with System Administration permission can see the Bed/Role tab.

Hospital beds and roles must be created in the Vocera system as groups. The staff members that are assigned to the beds or roles during a shift are members of the group.

You cannot use the Staff Assignment application to create beds or roles. The system administrator creates groups for beds and roles in the VoceraAdministration Console.
Note: Up to 200 beds or roles can be assigned to each unit.
