Electronic Bed Board (EBB)

The Electronic Bed Board module displays a visual map of the occupancy of the rooms by nursing unit. The status of each room and bed is displayed in a visual grid with the patient names displayed in colors to indicate the gender of the patient. The information can be displayed on monitors of different sizes ranging from 17″ to 60″ HD-TV monitors.

The information displayed is based on the Daily Census and will update instantly upon any changes to the census data.

Monitors can be mounted on the walls to display the Bed Board so the staff can view room and bed status at a glance. Multiple monitors are supported for large or multi-facility organizations. Special flags can be set for each room/bed to indicate the status or actions that need to be performed. Example: a bed or room can be flag as “quarantined”.
