Priority based on transfer count

When assigning staff to patients, I want the patient to be assigned to those with fewer transfer counts among the staff working in the same shift. I think changing the priority might help, but I'm not sure how to reflect this. I would really appreciate your help.

Hey @Amy, what do you mean by "fewer transfer counts" with regards to the staff?

@Kavika F , I mean when assigning patients to staff, I want to assign the patients to the staff member with the lowest number of previous transfers.

Hey @Amy, thank you for clarifying that for me. If you're keeping track of Staff Transfers through a label, then you could have the Staff Resource Sort the available staff by that label.

You could create a field on the "Staff" Global List called "NumTransfers" that looks at a label on the Staff.

On every Staff, you can add a label called "NumTransfers" that will keep track of each Staff's number of transfers.

And then anywhere in the Process Flow logic where a Staff gets transferred, you increment their NumTransfers label.

@Amy, I can't think of another way to do this. Staff don't inherently keep track of their own transfers -- you would have to set that up for them (i.e. with a label, a Global Table, a list, etc.)
