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

- 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.
