Transfer a Monitored Patient to a New Room in a Different
Unit
If a patient is being monitored and you want to assign them to a new room in
a different unit, follow these steps.
1. From the Main Menu, press SETUP, ACUITY, CHANGE PATIENT, TRANSFER.
Within a few seconds the Wireless Propaq CS displays a list of units.
2. Scroll up or down to highlight the new unit, then press Select.
The patient is not monitored at Acuity during the short time required
by Acuity to process the transfer to the new unit (typically less than
one minute). However, the patient continues to be monitored by the
Wireless Propaq CS.
(If the selected unit is currently not available, the Wireless Propaq CS
displays an appropriate message; press a key to acknowledge the
message and cancel the transfer.)
3. After the patient is assigned to the new unit, the Wireless Propaq CS
displays a list of unassigned rooms. (The patient’s previous unit and
room assignment is cancelled.)
• To assign the patient to a new room, highlight the room and press
Select.
• If you decide not to assign the patient to a new room at this time,
you can highlight Select Room at Acuity and press Select. You can
then assign the room later from the Acuity Central Station, or you
can assign a new room from the Wireless Propaq CS later using the
procedure on page 17.
