A method, system, and apparatus for associating a patient with a bed or a room includes sensing wireless information transmitted by a transmitter worn by the patient, such as an RFID transmitter of a wristband, and relying on automatic communication between the bed, a bed status computer, and an admission, discharge and tracking (ADT) computer to verify the patient-to-room or patient-to-bed association. The verification is achieved without the need for any manual data entry at the bed or at the bed status computer. The bed status computer stores bed data sent from the bed until the verification is made and then the bed status computer transmits the stored bed data to an electronic medical records (EMR) computer.

A patient room and bed management apparatus and system detects changes in a patient's status and updates the status of a room of a healthcare facility associated with the patient. The system may receive the patient status information from a remote system, such as a health information system used by a healthcare facility. The patient room and bed management system may determine one or more actions to be performed by a bed in the patient's room. The system may determine one or more actions to be performed by a caregiver or other staff person of the healthcare facility. The actions to be performed by the bed or staff person may be triggered by a change in status of the patient, the patient's bed, or the patient's room. The actions to be performed may be electronically communicated to the bed, to one or more remote displays, and/or to communication devices associated with staff persons of the healthcare facility.The patient room and bed management apparatus and system may include a user interface module that is not mounted to the patient's bed. A list of actions to be performed by a staff person in the patient's room, the status of the patient, the status of the patient's room, and/or the status of the patient's bed, may be displayed and updated electronically at the user interface module. The user interface module may also provide bed controls that allow a staff person to initiate an electronically-controlled function of the bed from the user interface module.
177 Security system for a medical emergency crash cart US13162058 2011-06-16 US08730041B2 2014-05-20 Carey A Roberts; John H. Welsch; David A. Reppert; Jeffrey C. Olson; David J. Salus
A utility cart includes a sensor or plurality of sensors to determine the state of a cart and secure cart contents. A sensor may be used to determine whether the contents of the cart have been accessed. When the sensor determines that the cart has been accessed, an alarm sequence that sounds an alarm or activates a visual indicator will be initiated. The alarm sequence may be terminated by a kill switch or by using an input device to deactivate the alarm. After the cart is used, the cart is re-stocked and the alarm controller is re-armed to return the cart's alarm system to an access sensing state.
