The management of hospital beds is a challenging task. Especially
in large clinics, the localization and disposition of beds can get
difficult. Furthermore, the working day in hospitals is oftentimes
rather hectic. In such a busy environment, important tasks can
easily be overlooked or forgotten. This can have serious
consequences. For example, a bed that has not been cleaned at the
prescribed time results in a significantly increased infection risk
for patients. Also, being late to a patient appointment or missing
it disturbs the process flow and causes costs.By implementing a
tracking solution with the display, the position and important
information concerning the hospital beds are accessible at all
times. The location of hospital beds can be determined reliably and
is shown on a digital map. This enables fast retrieval and
efficient disposition of beds. Bedside digital signage replaces the
traditional whiteboard — which requires constant updating once the
patient is admitted — with personalized, up-to-date information,
such as room phone number, names and photos of the care team and
most recent vital signs.The display can also be used to show
patient related information like the time and place of the
patient´s next appointment. The data will be updated when changes
are made, even if they are at short notice. Thus, the nurse
receives all the latest information at a glance and can take the
patient to his next appointment on time.
