Unit Configuration
Units are the primary organizational level within a facility. Each unit has its own patients, staff assignments, and settings.
Unit Settings
Navigate to Management → Facility to manage units. Each unit has:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name for the unit (e.g., "Acute Behavioral Health") |
| Unit Type | Classification: Behavioral Health, Substance Abuse, Psychiatric, Emergency, Medical/Surgical, Long-Term Care, Other |
| Floor | Floor or building identifier (optional) |
| Default Observation Interval | Default interval for new patients on this unit (Q5, Q15, Q30, Q60) |
| Proximity Threshold | BLE proximity verification distance (1–10 feet) |
| Calibrate | RSSI calibration for accurate distance measurement |
| Night Mode | Night observation protocol and hours |
| Escalation Delays | Alert escalation timing for Levels 2–4 |
Night Mode
Configure how observations work during nighttime hours:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Night Start | When night mode begins (e.g., 22:00) |
| Night End | When night mode ends (e.g., 06:00) |
| Night Mode | Observation protocol during night hours |
Night Mode Options
| 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).
RSSI Calibration
The Calibrate button in unit settings lets you tune proximity distance accuracy for your facility's environment. Different construction materials (concrete, glass, steel) affect BLE signal propagation.
Running Calibration
- Edit a unit and tap Calibrate next to the proximity threshold
- Select a wristband from the list of detected wristbands
- Place the wristband exactly 1 meter from your device and tap Measure
- Hold still for 5 seconds while the app samples the signal
- Optionally measure at 3 meters for improved accuracy
- Review the measured values and tap Save
The calibration measures:
- RSSI at 1m: The signal strength at 1 meter distance (typically -50 to -70 dBm)
- Path Loss Exponent: How quickly the signal weakens with distance (typically 1.5–4.5)
Tap Reset to Defaults to restore factory calibration values (-59 dBm, 2.5 path loss).
When to Calibrate
- When first deploying in a new facility
- If proximity verification seems inaccurate (verifying too far away or not verifying when close)
- After significant construction changes to the unit
Creating a Unit
- Navigate to Management → Facility
- Tap Add Unit
- Enter the unit name, type, and floor
- Configure unit settings (night mode, observation interval, proximity threshold, escalation delays)
- Tap Create Unit
Editing a Unit
Tap the edit icon on any unit card to modify its name, type, or settings.
Deleting a Unit
Units with admitted patients cannot be deleted. Discharge or transfer all patients first, then tap the delete icon on the unit card.
Deleted units no longer appear in the UI, but historical data (observations, alerts, shifts) is preserved.
