The exemplary embodiments herein provide a method for controlling access to medications. The method preferably includes the step of electronically unlocking a lid for a single bin out of a plurality of bins within a delivery module at a first location, to accept a medication into the unlocked bin, where the rest of the bins in the same delivery module remain locked. The method should then engage a mechanical lock on the lid once it has been closed, maintain the bin in a locked state during transport to a second location, and engage a mechanical lock on the delivery module once it has been lowered into a drawer at the second location. |

Patient support apparatuses—such as beds, cots, stretchers, or the like—include a plurality of user controls that allow a caregiver to control the steering and/or driving of one or more wheels from multiple different locations around the patient support apparatus (e.g. head end, foot end, and/or the sides). The control is carried out by force sensors that detect both an orientation of the applied forces and a magnitude of the applied forces. Translational and/or rotational movement is effectuated, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the forces, as well as the physical location of the applied force relative to a reference point on the support apparatus, such as the center. One or more object sensors may also be included in the support apparatus to assist in steering and/or navigating. |

An apparatus for displaying icons and warnings about healthcare conditions for a patient through a display screen. The screen may be a touchscreen to facilitate authorized healthcare user interaction. The display screen is located in proximity to a patient or the patient's room. The display screen provides a public display mode displaying icons and warnings symbol related to one or more conditions for the patient, but without displaying information that may violate the patient's privacy. The display screen further provides an authorized display mode accessible only by authorized users, such as healthcare workers. Authorized users may thereby gain access to more specific information identifying the one or more conditions, and complete a checklist of healthcare procedures and protocols related to said conditions. Information about authorized user access and checklist completion may be stored to document compliance. |
