Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, includes an alert light assembly or an alert light module having separate zones that are individually illuminated to convey information regarding respective alert conditions. The zones each have indicia related to a particular condition of the patient support apparatus. The illuminated zones are each sufficiently large so as to be seen from afar, such as on the order of ten feet or more. Alternatively or additionally, a GUI of the patient support apparatus displays alert indicia as part of a screen saver. Further alternatively or additionally, the patient support apparatus illuminates an alert light in a manner indicating an optimal time for taking a patient's vital signs.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame having a head section moveably coupled to a seat section. At least one frame actuator is configured to raise and lower the frame relative to a floor. At least one head section actuator is configured to adjust an angle of the head section relative to the seat section. A patient support surface is positioned on the frame. The patient support surface includes a plurality of bladders. An air source is configured to inflate and deflate the plurality of bladders. A sensor is configured to detect the presence of a caregiver at a head end of the frame. A control circuitry adjusts a position of the frame in response to a command from a caregiver.

Abstract: A time-based wireless pairing operation between a medical device, such as a patient bed, and a wall module in a patient room is initiated in response to a power plug of the medical device being plugged into a power receptacle carried by the wall module. Times determined by timers of the medical device and the wall module are compared by the wall module or by the medical device so that wireless pairing occurs only with the medical device that was plugged into the wall module. Different types of plug detectors used in the wall module to detect connection of the power plug include optical detectors, mechanical switches, and current sensors.

Abstract: A method of providing hygiene services to a patient. The method includes acquiring patient status data of a patient with a sensor. Incontinence event data is acquired with an incontinence detection system. After the occurrence of the incontinence event, a sleep status of the patient is determined based the patient status data. A time period to provide hygiene services to the patient is determined based on the incontinence event data and the sleep status of the patient.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus comprises a plurality of load cells, a frame supported on the load cells, a mattress, a plurality of air pressure sensors, and a control system. The mattress includes a plurality of inflatable zones positioned on the frame, the mattress and frame cooperating to direct any patient load through the mattress and frame to the load cells. Each of the plurality of air pressure sensors measures the pressure in a respective inflatable zone of the mattress. The control system includes a controller operable to receive a separate signal from each of the plurality of load cells and each of the plurality of air pressure sensors and process the signals to identify motion of the patient. The motion of the patient is further processed by the controller to characterize the nature of the patient motion and, based on the characterization of the patient motion, the controller automatically updates a patient profile in a patient record to reflect the characterization of the patient motion.

Abstract: A patient bed includes turn assist panels to rotate portions of a mattress. Some patient beds have siderails that are movable by a patient so that the patient can egress from the bed without interference from the siderails. Some patient beds have caregiver control panels for controlling features and functions of the patient bed, such as movement of the turn assist panels.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame and a mattress supported by the frame and arranged to support a patient thereon. A sensor is included to detect moisture on the patient and/or the patient support apparatus. The sensor produces signals indicative of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus. One or more alerts are output in response to the signals provided by the sensor to notify a caregiver of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus.
