Hospital Bed Management

Does your bed management system look like this? A white board in a remote corner of the hospital?

Or like this? A sheet of paper completed four times a day?

According to the JCAHO, the primary reason for ED diversion is a lack of critical care beds (ICU and Tele) and med/surg beds.

Does your hospital have a bed management system or are you just keeping track of the daily census? To be able to staff effectively and react to changes in the census, every hospital needs a visual way of "seeing" the state of every bed in real time. Are there discharges pending? Is the ED full? Are the ICU and Tele floors over 90% full? Is divert a possibility?

For most hospitals, the emergency department is the front door to the hospital providing over 60% of total admissions. To make sure there's "room at the inn," you will want to know the status of every bed—occupied (male/female), dirty, clean, not in service, or not staffed.

If the average inpatient is worth $6,000, how much does it cost to turn ambulances away or transfer patients to other facilities because you don't really have a handle on the state of beds in the hospital? $10,000/month? $100,000/month? More?

Maybe you thought you couldn't afford a bed management system because they cost too much, but now you can! Using the power of Excel, we can create a custom bed management system for you that will show the status of every bed, the census, potential overcrowding conditions (>90% occupancy) and track the statistics over time.

You know that patient satisfaction hinges not only on outcomes, but also on the patient's perception of the speed of their treatment. Bed management is one of the keys to accelerating the patient's experience, maximizing profitability, and reducing the need for flexible staffing.

If you can't see what's happening in the whole hospital, it's hard to manage and staff to maximize throughput. This bed management system helps make the invisible, visible so that you can start managing more effectively.
