With its large flat-panel electronic bedboard®, the Bed Management Suite(TM) allows environmental services, admissions and patient placement staff to know the immediate status of every bed and every patient throughout the entire hospital. This transparency lets them efficiently integrate the many disciplines involved in patient flow and manage the process to avoid bottlenecks. By streamlining patient flow, managers can better predict the clinical staffing required for better patient care. Improving patient flow can dramatically increase patient safety and satisfaction, reduce patient wait times, decrease ED overcrowding, and reduce ambulance diversions all while improving patient throughput.
The "2009 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Professional Services" KLAS survey represents the opinions of healthcare executives, managers, and clinicians from over 4,500 hospitals and 2,500 clinics, who rated over 750 products and services from 200+ vendors. KLAS offers the annual report free to health care providers as an aid in software, professional services, and medical equipment purchasing decisions.
