Unit Configuration

Units are the primary organizational level within a facility. Each unit has its own patients, staff assignments, and settings.

Unit Settings

Setting	Description
Name	Display name for the unit
Description	Optional description (e.g., "Adult Behavioral Health")
Observation interval default	Default minutes between observations for this unit

Nighttime Settings

Configure how observations work during nighttime hours:

Setting	Description
Nighttime start	When nighttime protocols begin (e.g., 22:00)
Nighttime end	When nighttime protocols end (e.g., 06:00)
Night mode	How observations are conducted at night

Night Modes

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).
