Common Operations
Escort
It may be necessary to temporarily move patients or asset 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. Click Escort on the toolbar.
2. If necessary, use your proximity card or magnetic/barcode card or enter your Login and Password then
press Enter or click OK.
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.
