Unit Configuration
Units are the primary organizational level within a facility. Each unit has its own patients, staff assignments, and settings.
Unit Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name for the unit |
| Description | Optional description (e.g., "Adult Behavioral Health") |
| Unit Type | Classification: behavioral_health, substance_abuse, psychiatric, emergency, medical_surgical, long_term_care, other |
| Observation interval default | Default minutes between observations for this unit |
| Settings | JSON configuration for unit-specific behavior (night mode, escalation delays, etc.) |
Night Mode Settings
Configure how observations work during night mode hours:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Night mode start | When night mode begins (e.g., 22:00) |
| Night mode end | When night mode ends (e.g., 06:00) |
| Night mode | How observations are conducted at night |
Night Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Full entry | Staff enter the room and document normally |
| Doorway | Staff observe from the doorway without entering |
| Passive only | Rely on sensor data with minimal disruption |
In passive mode, the sensor hub confirms patient presence and auto-generates observation records. With room doorway receivers installed, the system confirms room-level presence. Without them, it confirms unit-level presence.
Night mode affects the quick templates shown during observation entry and how proximity verification works.
Alert Escalation
Each unit can customize alert escalation timing:
| Level | Default Delay | Recipient |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 0 minutes | Assigned staff |
| Level 2 | 5 minutes | Charge nurse |
| Level 3 | 10 minutes | Unit manager |
| Level 4 | 15 minutes | Director/Admin |
Delays are cumulative—Level 3 triggers 15 minutes after the alert is created if still unacknowledged (5 + 10).
Creating a Unit
- Navigate to Management → Facility → Units
- Tap Add Unit
- Enter the unit name and optional description
- Set the default observation interval
- Configure night mode settings
- Tap Save
Room Management
Rooms are managed at the facility level at Management → Facility → Rooms. Rooms can optionally be associated with a unit, but some rooms (common areas, therapy rooms) may be facility-wide.
Rooms are used for:
- Patient room assignment
- Location tracking in observations
- EOC round routing
- Room doorway BLE receiver mapping (if installed)
