Operations

Tracks the version or iteration number of updates made to a bed record within the hospital bed management system. Used to maintain an audit history of changes to bed assignments, configurations, or clinical data, supporting data integrity, troubleshooting, and compliance with record-keeping requirements in inpatient systems.

Classification indicating the risk level associated with a specific hospital bed or patient placement, such as fall risk, infection control requirements, or safety precautions needed. Used in inpatient bed management systems to guide appropriate patient-to-bed assignment decisions.

Identifies the designated pathway or workflow routing assigned to a specific bed within inpatient bed management systems, such as direct admission, emergency department transfer, or surgical recovery. Guides patient flow coordination across hospital units and departments.

The calendar date on which a specific hospital bed is reserved or planned for patient occupancy. Used in inpatient bed management and census planning systems to coordinate admissions, transfers, and surgical scheduling across inpatient units.

The specific time at which a hospital bed is reserved or expected to become available for an incoming patient. Used in inpatient bed management systems to coordinate admission workflows, housekeeping turnover, and nursing unit capacity planning.

A calculated numeric rating assigned to a patient accommodation unit based on clinical, operational, or environmental criteria — such as infection risk, acuity suitability, or maintenance condition — within hospital bed management systems. Used in EHR analytics platforms to drive algorithmic bed assignment decisions and optimize patient placement workflows.

An ordinal number designating the positional order of a patient accommodation unit within a room, ward, or unit configuration in hospital facility and bed management systems. Used in EHR platforms to control display ordering of beds in census views, ADT interfaces, and bed board visualizations for clinical and operational users.

The specific calendar date on which a patient accommodation unit delivered or was assigned for care services, as recorded in hospital ADT and billing systems. Used in EHR platforms and claims data to establish per-diem accommodation charges, validate inpatient encounter timelines, and support revenue cycle adjudication for facility-based claims.

A classification indicating the clinical acuity level or seriousness of care requirements associated with a patient accommodation unit, such as ICU, step-down, or general medical designation, within hospital bed management systems. Used in EHR platforms to match patients to appropriate care settings and drive staffing ratio and billing configurations.

Designates the sex-based occupancy restriction or assignment preference for a specific hospital bed or room, such as male-only, female-only, or mixed. Used in bed management systems to ensure appropriate patient placement in compliance with privacy and clinical policies.

The originating system, facility, or data feed from which patient accommodation unit information is derived in healthcare data integration workflows. Used in EHR data pipelines and ADT interfaces to track provenance of bed records across platforms such as Epic, Cerner, RTLS systems, and third-party bed management solutions for data governance purposes.

The calendar date marking the beginning of a patient's assignment or occupancy of a specific accommodation unit within hospital ADT and billing systems. Used in EHR platforms and claims data processing to establish the onset of per-diem accommodation charges, calculate length-of-stay intervals, and validate inpatient encounter timelines for revenue cycle workflows.

The time at which a patient's occupancy of a specific hospital bed officially begins. Captured in inpatient bed management and census systems to track bed utilization, calculate length of stay intervals, and support accurate nursing unit staffing and billing records.

The current operational status of a hospital bed at any given point in time, such as occupied, available, dirty, in maintenance, or blocked. Used in real-time bed management systems to support census tracking, housekeeping workflows, and inpatient capacity management.

Indicates the current operational state of a hospital bed unit within ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer) and census management systems. Common values include available, occupied, dirty, or out-of-service. Used in EHR and bed management platforms to track real-time capacity.

The physical street address of the facility or building where a specific hospital bed is located. Used in multi-site health system bed management records to distinguish bed inventory across different campuses, buildings, or satellite inpatient facilities.

Indicates the care intensity or clinical capability level supported by a specific bed, such as ICU, step-down, medical-surgical, or observation. Used in bed management systems to match patient acuity with appropriate inpatient bed resources and nursing staffing ratios.

A partial count or aggregated sum of beds within a defined subset of a facility, such as beds within a specific unit, wing, or care level. Used in inpatient capacity reporting and bed management dashboards to support census analysis and resource planning.

A unique system-generated identifier assigned to a specific hospital bed within the bed management or hospital information system. Used to consistently reference, track, and link bed-level records across inpatient census, assignment, housekeeping, and clinical documentation workflows.

Identifies the intended destination bed assignment for a patient during transfer or placement workflows in ADT and EHR systems. Used by bed management and patient flow platforms to coordinate unit assignments, reduce boarding times, and support capacity planning operations.
