Escort
Escort
It may be necessary to temporarily move patients or assets within your facility from a protected area to an
unprotected area, or an area that is not monitored by the software, for example taking a patient to X-Ray. The
Escort function allows for movement of patients or assets by authorized staff within a facility while
maintaining a record of the patient or asset being escorted and the staff who authorized the action.
If an alarm from a Pendant, Fall Monitoring or Incontinence device is generated for the patient while he/she is
in Escort, the alarm cancels the Escort function. The alarm must then be cleared before the patient can be
placed back into Escort.
To perform an escort
1. Select Login (or Functions if password protection is disabled).
2. Enter your Login and Password or use your identification card.
3. Click Escort.
The Escort window appears. Patients or assets with alarming band transmitters, Wander
Management transmitters or Pendant, Fall Monitoring or Incontinence devices that currently exist
in the census are listed in the window.

NOTE: If a patient or asset is in alarm, the event must be cleared before the patient or
asset can be placed into Escort.
