The management of hospital beds is a challenging task. Especially in large clinics, the localization and disposition of beds can get difficult. Furthermore, the working day in hospitals is oftentimes rather hectic. In such a busy environment, important tasks can easily be overlooked or forgotten. This can have serious consequences. For example, a bed that has not been cleaned at the prescribed time results in a significantly increased infection risk for patients. Also, being late to a patient appointment or missing it disturbs the process flow and causes costs.

By implementing a tracking solution with the display, the position and important information concerning the hospital beds are accessible at all times. The location of hospital beds can be determined reliably and is shown on a digital map. This enables fast retrieval and efficient disposition of beds. Bedside digital signage replaces the traditional whiteboard — which requires constant updating once the patient is admitted — with personalized, up-to-date information, such as room phone number, names and photos of the care team and most recent vital signs.

The display can also be used to show patient related information like the time and place of the patient's next appointment. The data will be updated when changes are made, even if they are at short notice. Thus, the nurse receives all the latest information at a glance and can take the patient to his next appointment on time.
