Publication number: 20170004259Abstract: Based on a patient's and a caregiver's presence being detected in the same room by a locating system, the caregiver is automatically logged into a computer in the room. An initial screen that appears on a display screen of the computer is a screen that is specific for the patient that is located in the room. The initial screen comprises a patient's electronic medical record and the caregiver uses the computer to enter data or information into the electronic medical record of the patient. More broadly, a first person is logged into a computer in response to the presence of the first person and a second person being detected at the same location by a locating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Andrew S.

Patent number: 9253259Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes an electronic control system with client browser software running on a general purpose operating system that connects with a remote server via a high speed network connection. The browser and operating system allows the patient support apparatus to access and run programs not designed exclusively for patient support apparatus electronics systems. A general purpose microprocessor along with network converter circuitry allows the patient support to deliver messages in frames having intended recipient addresses. The microprocessor communicates with one or more graphical user interfaces and with a control system that controls actuators of the patient support. The control system may comprise networked nodes, such as CAN nodes for example. Isolation circuitry isolates the patient support from a network of a care facility with which it communicates.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Dan R. Tallent, James M. Allen, Keith A. Huster, William G. Pittenger, Irvin J. Vanderpohl, III, Christian Saucier, John T. Harrington

Publication number: 20140343968Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Inventors: Bradley T.
