Timezone

The facility timezone determines:

  • When shifts start and end
  • How timestamps display in reports
  • Night mode protocol activation times

All data is stored in UTC. The timezone setting controls display and scheduling only. Changing it won't affect historical data.

Multi-Facility Support

Organizations with multiple facilities can manage them from a single account:

  • Each facility has independent units, staff, and patients
  • Staff accounts can be assigned to multiple facilities
  • Reports can be generated per-facility or organization-wide

Contact Ward support to enable multi-facility management.
