Benefits and features

A system of bed management makes it easy to admit patients into units, and saves the time otherwise spent searching for an available bed somewhere in the hospital. These are the ten benefits our customers raise most often.

Ten reasons hospitals use Wise Bed Manager

  1. Staff stop hunting for free beds

    Especially during emergencies. The application improves communication between the unit admitting the patient and the unit where the patient is finally hospitalised.

  2. It improves the hospital's financial position

    You get an overview of bed occupancy across the hospital at any given moment, and idle capacity stops being invisible.

  3. Management can argue from data

    From the collected occupancy data the application produces reports that support planning — and conversations with employees, health insurers and the media.

  4. Fewer inappropriate admissions

    Over-occupancy no longer forces a patient into whichever bed is left. All the information needed to schedule a patient is one screen away.

  5. Shorter waiting time in an emergency

    Graphical data entry means the decision is made where the information is, not after three phone calls.

  6. Costs you can see in advance

    The licence price covers the required equipment, installation, integration into the hospital network and staff training. There are no hidden costs.

  7. It fits the working process

    The application is simple enough that it is actually adopted by the people who have to use it during a shift.

  8. Central coordination, local control

    The bed manager assigns a patient to a unit; the unit's own staff then decide which bed. Nobody is relocated into somebody else's unit behind their back.

  9. Fewer cancelled admissions

    Historical data makes the allocation of beds for emergency patients more accurate, so already scheduled admissions are cancelled less often for lack of a bed.

  10. Fewer trips across the hospital

    With fewer inappropriate admissions, doctors make fewer visits to remote units to sort out a placement that should never have happened.

Rooms, beds, patients, Depository, filter and patient search — all on one screen.

Drag and drop transfers

Move a patient between beds and rooms with the mouse. No form, no confirmation dialogue chain.

Admission by SSN

Click an empty bed, type the social security number, confirm. The rest of the patient's data is filled in for you.

Bed reservations

Reserve a bed in a unit with an expiry date. Expired reservations are cleared in one action.

Jobs list

Work items attached to a patient and a unit, created, edited, confirmed and deleted by the bed manager.

Bed types, statuses, equipment

Each bed carries its type, its status and the equipment on it — and each of those is a colour you can recognise at a glance.

Complete audit log

Every action is written to the log with the user who did it, and the log is readable inside the application.

Executive reporting

Occupancy by clinic, by unit and for the whole hospital, over any date range, with printer-friendly output.

Configured, not developed

The whole hospital layout is entered through the administration screens. Adding a ward takes minutes, not a release.
