Abstract: A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient communicates wirelessly with one or more devices and determines the relative position of the device(s) with respect to the patient support apparatus. A control system onboard the patient support apparatus receives identification data from the device(s) and uses the identification data to perform an authentication analysis of the device. Based on the authentication analysis, the control system determines an authorization level for the device and transmits different types of data to the device based on the authorization level. A plurality of locator nodes may be included on the patient support apparatus that are linked together by an embedded network. Synchronization messages are passed between the locator nodes over the embedded network to ensure the locator nodes have synchronized time. The authentication analysis and/or the use of encrypted communications may be based on the identity of the device and/or its location.

Abstract: A system includes a server and a patient support apparatus having a support surface, a plurality of ultra-wideband transceivers, and a controller. The controller is adapted to use the ultra-wideband transceivers to automatically determine a position of a badge and/or tag relative to the patient support apparatus and to use the position information of the badge and/or tag to automatically perform one or more of the following: display a cleaning screen used by cleaning workers; determine if the patient support apparatus is ready to be, or already has been, cleaned; identify and record an identity of the worker who cleaned the patient support apparatus; determine a closest transport worker; and/or update an equipment weight log maintained by the patient support apparatus. The badge(s) may be worn by a healthcare worker and the tag(s) may be coupled to an object or worn by the patient.

Abstract: A portable tool for communicating with an ultra-wideband (UWB) equipped patient support apparatus and/or a UWB-equipped locator unit. The tool may include a housing, a transceiver for communicating with a computer, a first (UWB) transceiver adapted to communicate with a second UWB transceiver, and a controller. The controller may be adapted to use the first UWB transceiver to obtain an identifier from the second UWB transceiver, and to determine whether the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard a patient support apparatus or onboard a locator unit based on its identifier. If the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard the patient support apparatus, the tool may determine a specific location of the second UWB transceiver onboard the patient support apparatus. The tool may alternatively be embodied in a software application adapted to be executed on a smart phone and/or personal computer.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a patient support surface, a plurality of ultra-wideband transceivers, and a controller. The controller is adapted to perform the following: use the ultra-wideband transceivers to automatically determine a position of the badge relative to the patient support apparatus, to receive a badge identifier from the badge; determine if the badge is positioned inside or outside of a volume of space; and, if the badge is positioned inside the volume of space, transmit the badge identifier to a server using the network transceiver. The controller and/or server may also, or alternatively, determine an identity of the user associated with the badge, determine an identity of the patient, automatically transmit at least a portion of a care plan to the patient support apparatus, record data indicating who implemented one or more functions on the patient support apparatus, and/or forward a message to a nearest badge.
