What we look for in a bed
Our clinical advisory panel reviews every bed specification with the hospital’s nursing leaders. The features that matter most in intensive care are an accurate integrated scale, reliable exit detection, powered height and positioning including lateral tilt and Trendelenburg, CPR release that works with one hand, and a battery that holds positioning through a transfer.
Connected beds
Most current intensive-care beds connect to their manufacturer’s remote-service network, which reads logs and error codes and lets the manufacturer’s engineers diagnose faults without a visit. Utilization Pricing reads occupancy through the same connection. The hospital’s network team approves the connection.
Surfaces
Pressure-redistribution and low-air-loss surfaces can be financed with the bed or separately, and are often better suited to a subscription, because they are replaced more often.
