Overview

The ED Bed Board is a real-time visual display of every bay and bed in your emergency department. It shows patient assignments, triage categories, time-in-department, pending orders, and disposition status.

Using the Bed Board

The board displays:

  • Bay/bed number with patient name and triage colour
  • Waiting time since arrival (highlighted red if exceeding threshold)
  • Assigned doctor and nurse
  • Pending lab orders, imaging orders, and consult requests
  • Disposition: Admit, Discharge, Transfer, LAMA, Absconded

Drag-and-drop patients between bays to reassign. Click a patient card to open their ED chart with full clinical documentation.

Toggle 'Display Mode' (top-right corner) to show the board on a wall-mounted TV. Display mode:

  • Hides clinical details for privacy
  • Shows bay number, triage colour, and wait time only
  • Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds
  • Uses large fonts readable from across the room
