Common Operations
Escort
It may be necessary to 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.
The amount of time you have to remove an alarming band transmitter can be set in the Configuration, Units
menu (refer to the Series 5.0 Software Administrator Guide). If an alarm from a Wander Management or QR
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, swipe your identification card or enter your Login and Password then press Enter or click
OK.
The Escort window appears. Patients or assets with alarming band transmitters or QR transmitters 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.
