Keep a staff member occupied after patient exits model

I am trying to show that a transporter would need to escort a patient in a bed out of the clinic but then would be occupied and unable to transport the next patient for another 15 minutes after that original patient leaves through the exit. I need the patient to go through the exit to show that they are "done" with their time in the clinic, but in reality the transporters would be busy for 15 minutes after their patient exits taking the patient to another floor.

Hi Katherine,

As explained in this previous question, there is an option in the processing area to require a maintenance time for staff members after a patient leaves a location.

If you want the staff member to be occupied after a patient leaves the model, choose "Escort Patient > Process" as the last activity. You can specify the Patient Destination, the Processing Time, and the Staff Requirements. The staff member will then wait for the required amount of time that you define in the Processing Time before being utilized by another patient.
