Must meet minimum salient characteristics to be technically acceptable:

SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

Bedframe Requirements:

· Bed Configuration Awareness System:

· The bedframe must have an awareness system that allows the caregiver to establish specific safety parameters for each individual patient. The system needs to be customizable to each patient, not a “one size fits all system”. The system should monitor “Never Events” like falls and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia. The bed needs to monitor bed fall risk compliance measures including bed low height, brake engagement, side rail configuration and bed exit armed/disarmed. The bed must also monitor the 30-degree head of bed lockout, which is a Ventilator Associated Pneumonia compliance strategy.

· We also need a local visual display that the bed is in the proper configuration and another visual display when the bed is in the incorrect configuration. This should be easily viewed from outside the patient’s room and easily recognizable to all staff members.

· The system also needs to have the ability to send alerts through the nurse call system and/or wirelessly to the nurse’s station and other locations to notify staff that a change has occurred.

· Single Touch 30-Degree Head of Bed Button

· The bedframe must have a single touch 30-Degree Head of Bed lockout. This is necessary to lock patients head of bed at or above 30-degrees when they are vented or on a tube. Not complying with this can put the patient at risk for Ventilator Associated Pneumonia.

· Retractable Frame

· The bedframe needs to retract towards the wall when the head of bed is raised. This is necessary to keep our patients closer to their belongings and to help lower sheer on patient’s skin as their head is raised. This is also needed to lower the amount of boosting nursing staff has to do.

· Side Rails

· The side rails of the bed frame need to follow a clocking motion when they are raised and lowered. This is necessary because of the small space in the room for the bedframe. They also need to have three positions, up, down and intermediate for patient ingress and egress. The head end rails and the foot end rails need to have grip points for patient hand placement during ingress and egress. The side rails also need to have the ability to tuck in to the frame for transport through narrow doorways or passages. The side rails also must also have one hand articulation capabilities.

· Foot End Outlets

· The frame must have two 110-volt foot end outlets to plug pumps and other pieces of equipment in to. This is necessary to reduce lines and trip hazards in the room for both the patient and the caregiver.

· Integrated Pump Hanging Bar

· The foot end portion of the bed must have an integrated pump holder to attach SCD’s and other equipment. This is needed to keep equipment off the floor to help reduce infection control issues and trip hazards.

· Single Touch Buttons

· The bed must be able to articulate and be locked/unlocked with single touch buttons. The caregivers need the ability to change the bed position and lock/unlock motion controls with a single button and with one hand.

· Centrally Located Brake Pedal

· The frame must have one large, centrally located brake pedal on each side of the bed. This is necessary as a visual indicator that the brake is locked and so that it is not covered by sheets or linens.

· Foot End Controls

· The frame must have foot end caregiver controls. The foot end controls are necessary for protocols and lockouts to be engaged/disengaged away from the patients reach. If the bed exit on/off is located in the side rail the patient can disengage the alarm without setting it off. By placing the controls in a covered section of the footboard, you can help remove this risk.

· Three Sided Controls

· Caregivers need to be able to access the bed motion controls from either side and the foot end. This is necessary to be able to articulate the frame regardless of where the caregiver is positioned in the room.

· Single Touch, Weigh In Any Position Scale

· The scale system must have the ability to weigh the patient in any position and any bed articulation. It must also be activated with a single touch button. The scale must also measure and store up to 10 weights in the bed.

· Bed Exit System

· The bedframe must have a three zone bed exit system that is based off of the patient’s weight and center of gravity. This system is necessary to arm the patient in the correct bed exit setting and to reduce the false alarms and alarm fatigue for the staff.

· Wireless Connectivity

· The bedframe must have the ability to be wirelessly integrated into our nurse call and EMR systems. This is necessary to be able to track patient data and staff compliance with risk management

· Patient Helper Capable

· The frame must be able to accommodate a patient helper for staff and patient use.

· Adjustable Headboard Height:

· When the bed height is adjusted, the headboard height must adjust up and down as well. This allows the bed to accommodate a safe / ergonomic height for patient transport (safe patient handling initiative). This also allows bed to accommodate 4-post traction setup without additional adapters / equipment.

· Integrated Traction Sleeves

· The bedframe must have built in traction sleeves for four post and bucks traction capability. These traction sleeves must also stay stationary when the head of bed is adjusted. This will protect the four post traction from bending and potential damage and patient/staff injury.

· Extension Capable

· The frame must be capable of extending the patient surface area from 84” long to 94” long.

· Single Touch Cardiac Chair

· The bedframe must have a single touch button to articulate the bed in to a full chair position.

· Downward Motion Interrupt

· The bedframe must have a downward motion interrupt to stop the bed from lowering if any equipment is blocking the frame.

· CPR Functions

· The bedframe must have manual head end CPR release triggers and an electronic CPR function. The head board must also detach from the frame for CPR access.

· Foley Hooks

· The frame must have four different Foley hook locations so that the caregivers can place Foley bags and other pieces of equipment on the bed. This is necessary to reduce trip hazards and clutter in the room.

· Open Frame Architecture

· The frame must have the ability to accommodate any standard sized patient care mattress. This is necessary to provide different therapy surfaces for different patient needs.
