Linking Staff to Location

I am trying to have each registration clerk linked to one desk and each tech linked to one triage chair. Is this possible to do? I want to be able to see individual staff throughput so I created a dashboard that shows each triage chairs location throughput but this isnt accurate if the patients can be treated from different chairs by the same tech. Currently, a patient can also sit in a triage chair and the tech is "providing care" from a separate room. Hoping these two issues could be resolved by linking one staff to one chair/desk if possible! Thanks DGH model.fsm

Hi @hanna,

I suggest you to read this post and also this one. This is a common question when modeling with both People Module and HC environment.

Hope it helps!

Is there a way to do it without writing the code?

Yes, there is! Both the Location and Staff Resource has an option within the property Location/Staff called Location by Case or Staff By Case. If you acquire first the locations, then you acquire the Staff based on the value of the location acquired. If you acquire first the Staff, you acquire the Location based on the Staff acquired. In the demo model attached you can see how to set this logic.

This doesn't appear to work with staff schedules. When a staff is "off-schedule", the model does not run. This is an issue for my model as I have scheduled staff!
