16. Groups and Programs

Groups (sometimes called Programs) let you bundle patient care units together under a shared label — for example an ICU Care Team rolling up several step-down units, or a Surgical Program covering every OR and recovery room. Groups show up as filter options on the dashboard and on many reports, so you can track compliance for a program of care rather than a single unit.

To open the Groups list, go to Account | Groups & Programs.

16.1. Group List

../_images/groups-list.png


16.1.1. Stat Chips

Cards across the top give you an instant rollup:

  • Groups — the total number of groups on the account.

  • Unit Assignments — the total number of unit-to-group links across all groups. A single unit that belongs to three groups counts as three assignments.

  • Unique Units — how many distinct units appear in at least one group.

  • Avg per Group — the average number of units per group.

16.1.2. Page Header Actions

  • New Group — opens the quick-create modal (see New Group Quick-Create).

  • Export — saves the current (filtered) list to HTML, CSV, or Excel.

16.1.3. Filtering

  • Search groups… — matches text in the group name.

  • All Accounts — scope to a single account.

  • All Short Codes — filter by the group’s short code abbreviation.

  • All Types — filter by the internal type label (Group, Program, …).

  • All Units — show only groups that contain a particular unit.

  • Expand-all / Collapse-all — expand or collapse every Units column so you can see all assigned units at once, or collapse long lists back to a summary count.

  • Refresh — reload the list.

16.1.4. Row Columns

Rows group by facility. Each row shows:

  • Active — a green Active badge when the group is in use, grey when disabled. Display-only — to change the active state, open the Group Editor and toggle Active.

  • Name — the group name.

  • Short Code — a short abbreviation used in reports and dashboards (e.g. ICU, T6).

  • Count — the number of units assigned to the group.

  • Units — unit chips for each member; long lists collapse to +N more. Click +N more to expand the full list, or less to collapse it again.

  • Color — the color swatch used to tint the group on dashboard charts.

  • Type — the internal type classification.

16.1.5. Row Action Menu

Click the three-dot icon at the end of any row:

  • Edit — opens the full Group Editor (General + Members tabs) for that group.

  • Delete — permanently removes the group after a confirmation prompt.

16.1.6. Bulk Selection

Tick one or more checkboxes to reveal the bulk-selection bar, then Delete Selected to remove several groups at once. Click the x to clear the selection.

16.2. New Group Quick-Create

The New Group button on the page header opens a compact modal for creating a group in one step.

  • Group Name — a human-readable label, e.g. ICU Care Team.

  • Short Code — a short identifier (up to 12 characters) automatically upper-cased as you type. Used on reports and on dashboards that need a compact label.

  • Color — pick a color with the swatch or paste a hex value. Used to tint the group’s charts.

  • Units — type a unit name and press Enter (or a comma) to add it as a chip. Click a chip to remove it.

Click Save Group to create the group, or Cancel to discard.

16.3. Group Editor

Choosing Edit from a row’s action menu opens the full editor, which includes everything in the quick-create modal plus an Active toggle and a dedicated Members tab.

16.3.1. General Tab

  • Active — toggle the group on or off without deleting it. Inactive groups are ignored by dashboards, reports, and filter pickers.

  • Group Name — the display label.

  • Short Code — a short identifier (up to 3 characters in the full editor).

  • Color — pick a color with the swatch or paste a hex value.

16.3.2. Members Tab

../_images/group-detail-members.png


Manage which units belong to this group.

  • Add Unit — pick a unit from the dropdown and click Add. The dropdown lists every unit not already in the group.

  • Assigned Units — the chips show every unit currently in the group. Click a chip to remove the unit from the group.

  • Total Members — a live count of the units currently assigned.

Click Submit to save the changes or Cancel to go back without saving.
