Abstract: Many hospitals today use bed management systems that are primarily manual and paper-based. This inhibits efficiency and informed decision making, as communication is constrained. Hence these systems are essentially memoryless as lessons learned reside with individuals but are lost to the organisation as a whole. Electronic systems that can capture and record checkpoints on the patient pathway allow that data to be analysed. This can help with improving efficiency and prediction, allowing “what if” scenarios to be examined with data to support it. This paper presents the outcome of developing a bed management system and deploying it in a hospital for a live trial over a period of approximately three months. It also highlights improvements suggested through system usage over the period of the deployment and presents a novel efficiency measure.
