Design and arrange models in Guest to best represent the layout of your healthcare provider facility
Verkada refers to departments or points of care from an EMR as departments. Departments must be mapped to a Guest site for the appropriate patients to be available in the site.
A department may only be mapped to one Verkada Guest site.
A user must be an Org Admin to map departments to sites.
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.
On the left navigation, click Guest Settings.
At the top, select Sites and use the dropdown to select a site.
Select Healthcare > Choose Departments.
Select the department(s) to be associated with the site.
Click to save.
Department names shown in the Choose Departments menu are representative of the department code from the EMR. Organizations can add a display name for each department that may be more intuitive for staff.
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.
On the left navigation, click Guest Settings.
At the top, select Sites and use the dropdown to select a site.
Select Healthcare > Choose Departments.

a. Enter a unique name. b. Hit enter on the keyboard to save.
A display name must be added to a department for the department to be available for an Outpatient visit.
Checkpoints are objects configured in Verkada Guest that represent physical spaces where visitor services are stationed. Checkpoints group tablets and departments that are relevant to a particular station or team. Checkpoints are configured per site and may consist of one or more departments.

A checkpoint can comprise multiple departments, but a department can only be connected to one checkpoint.
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.
On the left navigation, click Guest Settings.
At the top, select Sites and use the dropdown to select a site.
Select Healthcare > Checkpoints.
a. Click Add a Checkpoint. b. Enter a unique name. c. Hit enter on the keyboard to save.
