I want to know how to set a bed as two usages of Location and Transporter resource at same time.
The patient lying in bed should be transported to LAB, EKG or XR by porter and after examining the patient should be transported with the bed to the previous same location.
How can I dot it?
Here's an example model that transports and treats patients on the same bed. I'm sure there are other ways of doing this, but this is one example. I use floor spot locations with a separate bed transport object already inside of it to start the model. There's also a check box option on the Transport Patient activity that can be used to "Keep Patient on Transport". To manage the movement of vacated beds back to the initial staging areas, I use a general process flow. The general process flow also manages the cleaning of beds and rooms.
Thanks, @cliff.king.
The key is to set the floor spot locations object to include the bed transport object.
And the cleaning process make me happy.
Yes, and it's nice that when you right-click > Edit > Set Object Reset Position, the object (ie. bed) remembers what object it is inside of as well as its position!
By the way, I used a custom Location Flow in that model that is no longer needed with the 20.2.1 release that just came out yesterday. The location flow previously did not allow me to release the location if it still had a transport inside of it.
