Introducing the Long-Term Unoccupied Beds View for Better Infection Control

BedWatch is proud to offer a powerful new feature: the Long-Term Unoccupied Beds View. Designed to enhance infection prevention and operational efficiency, this new view highlights inpatient beds that have remained unoccupied for more than 7 days. This tool helps hospitals proactively address the risks associated with prolonged room inactivity, such as the development of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused by pathogens like Legionella.

Key Features of the Long-Term Unoccupied Beds View

1. Identify High-Risk Beds Quickly
  • The view automatically flags inpatient beds that have been unoccupied for longer than 7 days, whether they are marked as clean or unavailable.

  • Helps facilities take immediate action to address beds and rooms at risk for issues like stagnant water, a known contributor to Legionnaires' disease.

2. Configurable Timeframes
  • Users can easily adjust the threshold for unoccupied days, tailoring the view to their hospital’s specific policies and needs.

  • With on-the-spot configuration, you can analyze beds unoccupied for any duration, whether 5 days, 10 days, or beyond.

3. Integrated Across Key Modules
  • Available within both the Admit Control and Bed Control modules, ensuring seamless access to this vital information.

  • The feature integrates smoothly with your existing workflows, requiring no additional setup.

Why This Matters

Prolonged room inactivity can pose serious infection risks. By providing visibility into long-term unoccupied beds, this feature helps hospitals:

  • Prevent Contagions: Identify rooms needing regular flushing or maintenance to prevent the growth of pathogens like Legionella.

  • Support Infection Control Protocols: Aid compliance with healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention strategies.

  • Streamline Operations: Ensure proactive management of underutilized beds to maintain a safe and efficient hospital environment.

How to Use the New Feature

  1. Navigate to the Admit Control or Bed Control module.

  2. Access the Unoccupied Beds View and review beds flagged as unoccupied for over 7 days.

  3. Adjust the time threshold as needed using the easy-to-configure settings.

  4. Take immediate action to address flagged beds, ensuring rooms are flushed and maintained per infection control protocols.

Proactive Bed Management for Safer Hospitals

This new view is a critical tool for enhancing patient safety and infection prevention. By enabling hospitals to identify and address long-term unoccupied beds, it ensures a proactive approach to mitigating risks associated with prolonged room inactivity.
