System Setup Functions Care Group Tab
9.4 Care Group Tab
The system Care Group tab (shown in FIGURE 9-6) allows for the default assignment of
selected patient tiles to specific system care groups. This enables a patient tile to
automatically be assigned to a specific care group upon admission to the Panorama Central
Station. The central station supports up to twelve care groups. Each care group is associated
with a unique color indicator and a unique reference label. The Care Group tab and the
associated colorized indicator are not available at the ViewStation or the WorkStation.
Care groups may be used to indicate a special meaning with regard to a patient tile. For
example, care groups may be used to represent a specific care-giver, hospital department, or
a critical monitoring condition. Contact the System Administrator before making adjustments
to the system care groups.
