Infection control and bed management just got smarter.
At BedWatch, we’re always looking for ways to streamline hospital operations while enhancing patient safety. Today, we’re excited to introduce two new automation features designed specifically for semi-private rooms—helping hospitals better manage bed availability and cleanliness when patients with isolation indicators are admitted or discharged.
Let’s take a look at these game-changing enhancements.
1️⃣ Automated Bed Blocking for Isolation Cases
The Challenge
When a patient with an isolation indicator is admitted to a semi-private room, all other beds in the same room need to be blocked from new admissions to prevent potential infection spread.
Similarly, if a patient already in a room is later marked as isolated, the same rule should apply—other unoccupied beds should not be assigned.
The BedWatch Solution
Automatically marks all unoccupied beds as “Unavailable” when an isolated patient is admitted.
Updates in real-time to prevent conflicting assignments.
Allows manual override if needed by hospital staff.
Customizable per facility—hospitals can enable or disable this feature based on their policies.
Why It Matters
✅ Reduces infection risk by preventing accidental admissions into contaminated rooms.
✅ Saves staff time by automating bed status changes.
✅ Minimizes manual tracking errors for a safer, more efficient hospital workflow.
2️⃣ Automated Cleaning Trigger on Isolation Discharge
The Challenge
When a patient with an isolation indicator is discharged, all other unoccupied beds in the same semi-private room need to be marked as "Dirty" and cleaned before a new patient can be admitted.
Hospitals rely on Environmental Services (EVS) to ensure beds are properly disinfected, but manual updates can lead to delays and potential errors.
The BedWatch Solution
Automatically marks unoccupied beds in the room as “Dirty” when an isolated patient is discharged.
Triggers an EVS cleaning request to ensure beds are sanitized before the next admission.
Customizable per facility—allowing hospitals to tailor the workflow to their specific needs.
Why It Matters
✅ Ensures proper decontamination of all beds in an isolation-exposed room.
✅ Reduces infection risks by preventing premature bed assignments.
✅ Speeds up bed turnover with automated EVS notifications.
A Smarter Approach to Infection Control & Bed Management
These new features are designed to simplify workflows while ensuring hospitals maintain best practices for infection control. With automated bed blocking and cleaning triggers, BedWatch is helping hospitals:
✔ Improve patient safety
✔ Reduce manual effort for hospital staff
✔ Ensure faster, more accurate bed availability updates
And because every hospital operates differently, these features can be enabled or disabled per facility, ensuring flexibility without compromising patient care.
