Assign & Unassign Unit Staff – Guide

Staff Assignment Tab

To access staff assignment click the staffing icon on the left hand side of the screen. In SafeNSound, a patient can only be assigned to one primary caregiver and one secondary caregiver at a time. The “Other” feature allows one more staff position to create a “My Patient/Dashboard” list, without pulling the patient from the Primary or Secondary caregiver role.

Assign Caregivers to Rooms

Select the caregiver.
Select the phone number.
Select the rooms by dragging the room from the top of the page, to the assignment area under the appropriate caregiver, or by free typing the room number and selecting it from the choices provided.
Repeat step 1 to step 3 for each staff member. Data is saved at each point of entry. There is not a Save button. When a Monitor Tech communicates by phone or quick message, these assignments are used. Quick Messages automatically sends to the Primary, Secondary, and Department
level contact, if selected.

Clear The Assignments

During shift changes, the assignments can be cleared by the following two options:

Select Garbage icon in the top right-hand corner of the page. This action clears the entire staff assignment list to allow for adding of new staff.
Select the Garbage icon in each caregiver section. This action clears the specific staff member and assignments. If a single caregiver is leaving the shift or changing departments, the Clear is helpful when the entire list does not require updates.

Print Staff Assignments

Select the Print icon in the top right corner.
