STAFF ASSIGNMENT AND SHARING SYSTEM

A system, method, and device are provided for sharing staff assignments between a nurse call system in a hospital and other hospital systems possessing assignments interfaces. Sharing is achieved by an assignment server working in conjunction with a nurse call system of the hospital. The assignment server contains an assignment interface that exchanges staff assignments with interface devices and the nurse call system. The assignment server is further capable of updating and synchronizing staff assignments between the interface devices and the nurse call system. Interface devices can be assigned to staff, staff can be assigned to locations within the hospital, and interface devices can be assigned to locations within the hospital by accessing a publishing system and updating staff assignments within the nurse call system. Accordingly, redundancy of a staff member updating each various interface device a staff member utilizes is reduced.
