Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use clinical handoff protocols, EHR records, privacy policies, unit procedures, care team instructions, and patient records as the source of truth.

Use the timer for handoff pacing only, not for diagnosis, treatment, triage, privacy, staffing, or clinical decisions.

Keep handoff notes, assignment notes, task lists, risk notes, unit updates, and care team records in the approved clinical, scheduling, records, privacy, billing, or operations system.

Use an XTimer room when nurses, charge nurses, care coordinators, unit clerks, providers, and shift leads need one shared nurse shift handoff countdown.
