Bed Management

Sunrise Bed Management™ from Eclipsys combines the processes of patient placement and resource allocation into an automated, Web-enabled bed control and communications command center that is a core component of the Sunrise Patient Flow™ enterprise performance system. The solution gives hospitals a 360-degree view of all stakeholders involved in hospital patient flow, allowing them to optimize patient placement, drive enterprise visibility and increase overall patient and staff satisfaction.

Interoperable with the hospital admissions/discharge/transfer (ADT) system, Sunrise Bed Management intelligently matches patients to beds based on clinical needs and real-time bed availability. The solution helps expedite the patient’s transition from admission to the right room without the time-consuming manual work — phone calls, pages, and impromptu floor meetings — usually needed to find the right bed for each patient.

Staff gains a mobile, interactive view of supply and demand across the enterprise, and can see pending admissions, transfers, discharges and bed supply in real time. Automated task lists more efficiently manage workflow and deliver instant messages by pager, phone or PDA to alert managers of to-dos and escalations. With a full view of all activities, hospitals can better coordinate care across roles and departments for smoother hospital patient flow and better patient care outcomes. Key capabilities include:

• Inter and Intra-departmental workflow management
• Enterprise visibility and patient care management
• Automated and instantaneous communications
• Integrated performance reporting
