How to attribute a staff for each task ?

Hello,

In the "ReplenishProcessFlow" of the attached model, I want to attribute a nurse for each administration. For example, the first administration (patient in exam table 18) is performed by "Female1", the second administration (patient in exam table 17) is performed by "Female2" and the third administration (patient in exam table 16) is performed by "Female1".

I used "Object Nambe By Global Lookup Table" (the global table "AdminDestination" column 2) for "Move cart then administer" and "Move cart for next replenish" processes’ “staff”. Concerning "Replenish meds for administration" process, I used "Array of values" in "CUNurse1" in which I specified the values of the global table "AdminDestination" column 2. But, when I run the model, I get the errors in figure 1.

Would you please help me to fix this.

Regards.

For the Replenish meds section you should use a Staff Resource to acquire a nurse instead of just a normal resource or you'll end up with a nurse acquired more than one time.

To answer your question directly: The errors you are seeing come from a bad label on the "Process" activities in your Process Flow. You're referencing a label "Person" which doesn't exist. Not sure what you were intending to reference there. Perhaps the patient?

Another one of your errors comes from the Load activity in one of the sub-flows. The label "CUNurse1" is just a string and it isn't referencing anything. This has to do with the way the labels were assigned. You assign the CUNurse1 label based on an array of values rather than a group or list of Task Executers. By doing it this way, it's as if you have three nurses instead of two. You can just put the nurses in a group and then acquire them that way. That way the label is pointing to a Nurse rather than just a string value.
