Randomizing Staff usage

I would like to randomize staff usage during a step in the Patient Activity sequence. Is there a best practice to this? @Matthew Gillespie

E.g., patient can have a visit utilizing a nurse, OB, patient coordinator, and Surgeon in any combo.

Is this possibly easier just to do with a series of decision points or separate activities that contain these combos of staff?

In this example model I have a process activity with 4 staff requirements and I'm using the By Percentage pickoption in each requirement. That way you'll get some combination of the 4 requirements. You can play around with the code in each requirement field to get the behavior you want or you could use different activities with different requirements and use decision points to choose the activity.
