A bed is provided having a base frame, a patient support assembly connected to the base frame. The patient support assembly is rotatable adjacent the foot end of the bed to place the patient support assembly, including the head section and foot section thereof, in a generally vertical position to allow a patient to exit the bed in a standing orientation.

A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, communicates with an electronic medical record (EMR) system in healthcare facility. The hospital bed includes a patient support structure to support a patient, a graphical user interface coupled to the patient support structure, and control circuitry coupled to the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface displays at least one input that may be used by a caregiver to chart data into an electronic medical record (EMR) of a patient supported by the patient support structure.

In one aspect, a bed including a rotationally molded body. The body has a unitary, one-piece construction. The body includes a bed pan for receiving a mattress. The body further includes safety rail portions of the body on opposite sides of the bed pan. The safety rail portions are configured to extend above the mattress received on the bedpan and inhibit a user from falling out of the bed.

A bed comprises a fixed width deck section, a wing movably coupled to the fixed width section, and a mechanism for extending and retracting the wing.

A hospital bed is adjustable between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration. The hospital bed comprises a frame, an endboard supported by the frame and a siderail adjacent the endboard. The siderail is configured to minimize a width of a gap between the siderail and the endboard when the hospital bed is in the extended configuration. The siderail comprises a medially extending portion extending medially from the siderail towards a centerline of the hospital bed. The siderail comprises a handle extending along a longitudinal direction and along a medial direction of the siderail. The handle defines a continuously prehensible region for a patient resting on the hospital bed.

A side rail assembly may include a support rail connected to a medical bed, the support rail may include a slot disposed along an exterior surface the support rail and one or more indents positioned within the slot. The side rail assembly may include a carrier slidably connected to the support rail, wherein the carrier comprising a guide pin configured to slidably abut the slot. A side rail assembly may further include a side rail being rotatably connected to the carrier, wherein the guide pin is urged into the one or more indents when the guide pin is aligned with the one more indents, thereby allowing rotation of the side rail to a raised position and restricting movement of carrier along the support rail. Methods for moving the side rail and triggering a magnetic sensor are disclosed herein.
