Chapter 3 – System Configuration - Messaging
Safe Place Enterprise Software Administrator Guide Page 41 of 90 0510-1113-B
Chapter 3 – System Configuration - Messaging
Introduction The software contains messaging functionality (rules) that enables the system to message system events and information to the facility staff via the standard pagers, email, quick looks, or phone per the facility’s needs.
Messaging Rules Messaging rules determine who will be notified in the event of an alert, which alerts trigger a message, how many retries the system should perform, and the escalation path that should be taken if an alert is not addressed.
For example: your maintenance staff may need to be notified when there is a fault alarm but not when a patient needs assistance.
Messaging rules consists of the following:
Sources: The rooms, Quick Looks (QLI), doors, and/or ABRs being monitored that trigger a notification
Alerts: Alarms, depleted battery, faults
Send Resets: All messaging targets receive notification that the alert has been addressed
Targets: The end messaging devices (ie: emails, pagers, phones, quick looks…) that should be notified when an event happens
NOTE: By default, Messaging Target(s) is set to send a notification to all staff every 5 minutes until reset. If you need to change this, you will need to Edit the Messaging Target and set the appropriate targets.

15. By default, notifications will be sent every 5 minutes until reset 16. Repeat steps 8 – 14 for additional escalation levels 17. Once all levels have been defined, click the Save button
For Example
Messaging rule setup with the following:
Notification goes only to maintenance personnel
Only notify when there is a device alert, no patient alerts
Escalate to the maintenance supervisor if the alert is not addressed after 10 minutes
Send out a notification to all every 5 minutes until the alert is addressed
Send To All – selecting this option sends the alarm to staff on shift immediately. De-selecting the option allows for individual devices and emails to be entered
Escalation Step 1 – immediate notification will be sent to any device specified (in this case, the maintenance pager) and then five minutes later another notification will be sent
Escalation Step 2 – the next notification will be sent to maintenance pager and the supervisor’s email after 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes twice more to the pager if the Immediate team could not assist.
Escalation Step 3 – the final escalation is the catch all. After 25 minutes, every staff member will receive notifications every 5 minutes until the device is reset.

Report Schedules
Report schedule configuration allows you to define which reports you would like to have automatically emailed, the frequency of those report emails, and to which email addresses the reports should be sent.
A scheduled report automatically provides you with the data you need, at the time you need it, without you having to remember to setup and print the report(s).
The following are a few examples of using the report schedule feature:
A Nurse Manager wants to receive a listing of all the previous week’s alarms to review the staff response times. In this case, the All Alarms Report is scheduled to be emailed every Monday morning at 6am so that it is waiting for the manager when they arrive.
The facility administrator wants the maintenance staff to receive a report each morning of all active maintenance issues within the facility so that resources can be scheduled appropriately. In this case, the Active System Maintenance Report is scheduled to be emailed every morning at 8am to the maintenance staff.
The facility administrator wants to receive a report of every activity that happened within the facility during a month for review and analysis. In this case, the All Activities Report is scheduled to be emailed to the administrator on the first of every month.
NOTE: You must have an email server configured within the system in order for the email schedules to work. If an email server is not configured, you will receive an error message the first time the schedule is run.

Off Unit & Transfer
Off Unit and Transfer configuration allows you to configure specific doors so that when a patient wearing a transmitter that has been designated as either being off-site or in the process of being transferred from one unit to another unit, the door(s) will not alarm when the transmitter is within range.
A few things to keep in mind when configuring doors to work with the off-unit and transfer workflows:
An off-unit workflow requires that there is at least one door associated with the patient’s current unit
A transfer workflow requires that there is at least one door associated with either the patient’s current or destination unit
If a door is not associated with a unit, an off-site patient or a transfer workflow will not auto complete
You can also configure a Linger Time (delay before the workflow is complete):
To allow for the transmitter to be moved out of range to prevent false alarms
To provide the ability to move through multiple doors within the same unit without incorrectly marking a patient as being back on site
How do I configure a specific door(s) to not alarm during a transfer?
1. Log into the workstation application 2. Click the Manage icon 3. Click the Configuration tile 4. Under the Door Security menu option, click Off Unit & Transfer 5. Click the Configure Off Unit & Transfer link at the top of the page 6. To add a door to the list, select it on the Available list and click the
right arrow to move it to the Assigned list (NOTE: Model 30 doors will not appear in the list)
7. To remove a door(s) from the list, select it on the Assigned list and click the left arrow to move it to the Available list
Appendix A – Initial Installation and System Commissioning
Safe Place Enterprise Software Administrator Guide Page 69 of 90 0510-1113-B
8. Select the appropriate Linger Time (45 seconds to 4 minutes) before the door alarms for the transmitter
9. Click the Save button 10. Repeat as necessary
NOTE: If a door is not within the assigned list, a transmitter designated as being off unit or in the process of being transferred will still trigger an alarm.
Alarm Lockdown
Alarm lockdown configuration allows you to define if doors should automatically lock and which doors will lock when a transmitter tamper or loose band alert is triggered.
How do I configure an alarm lockdown for a specific door(s)?
1. Log into the workstation application 2. Click the Manage icon 3. Click the Configuration tile 4. Under the Door Security menu option, click Alarm Lockdown 5. Click the Configure Alarm Lockdown link at the top of the page 6. Be default the Enable Alarm Lockdown option is set to the On
position 7. Select which doors should Lock (all configured doors or just the
configured doors in the patient’s unit). By default, only the doors in the patient’s unit are locked.
8. For Loose Band Alarms select the appropriate time interval allowed before the assigned doors lock (the default is Lock After 5 Minutes) For example: A state inspector might require that a loose band alarm displays as a red alarm and immediately locks all doors. In this case, you would change the time interval to Lock Immediately.

Door Schedules Door schedule configuration allows you to define lockdown and bypass schedules for the facility access points, with different configurations available for weekday and weekend.
NOTE: A door can have only one daily schedule of each type, but multiple doors can share the same schedule.
There are two types of door schedules that can be configured in the system:
Lockdown: Doors can be configured to be locked for everyone at times determined by the facility and unlocked at others.
For example: During normal business hours the main entrance can be configured to allow staff and family members to enter the protected unit without having to entering a code or call for assistance, but if a patient wearing a 9450 transmitter comes within range of the entrance, the door is placed into Wander mode and locked. After hours, the door is always locked and alarms whenever anyone opens it.
Bypass: Doors can be configured to not go into lockdown mode for “common” areas at defined times.
Lockdown and Bypass schedules can be combined or “overlapped” on the same door.
