10. Activating a shift
You only need to read this section, if shifts are assigned to your ward. Ask
your system administrator.
To support zone nursing Tunstall has developed the concept of zones and
shifts:
Zone
A zone is a part of a ward within which calls are forwarded. Calls which are
triggered within the zone are not forwarded to rooms in the ward which lie
outside the zone. Usually, certain nursing staff are responsible for one zone.
Shift
The zones of a ward are not set for the long-term. The zone organisation can
change. Each division of the ward into zones is classed as a “shift“.
A shift refers to the division of a ward into a maximum of 8 zones. Thus, the
zones may overlap each other, i.e. certain rooms can belong to several
zones.
A maximum of 8 different shifts can be defined for each ward. You activate
shifts using the ComStation
BUS-C
.
ComStation
BUS-C
One or more ComStation
BUS-C
units are installed in each ward. According to
the shift, the ComStation
BUS-C
units can belong to different zones. If a ward
is divided into zones, but only has one ComStation
BUS-C
unit, the system is
usually programmed that the ComStation
BUS-C
belongs to all zones.
Examples
