Occupant egress prediction systems, methods and devices
A method comprises determining a person's level of risk for developing an adverse condition; selecting a care protocol based on the level of risk; displaying a proposed configuration of a person support structure corresponding to the care protocol for a caregiver to approve; and upon approval by the caregiver, implementing the configuration.
1. A method of predicting an egress condition for a person supported on a person support structure, the method comprising:
receiving input signals including: (i) at least one of time since last toileting, input/output balance, or lack of catheter; and (ii) patient position;
determining if the input signals mimic an egress profile;
generating an alert if the input signals mimic the egress profile unless the alert is modified; and
receiving at least one additional input signal corresponding to a facility input and modifying the alert as a function of the facility input, wherein the facility input includes information corresponding to at least one of the following: caregiver round times or likelihood an alert will be responded to by a caregiver within a predetermined amount of time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signals further include information sensed by a pressure map.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the pressure map comprises a mat positioned on the mattress.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signals further include information sensed by a load cell.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the load cell is included as part of a bed frame of the patient support structure.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signals further include information sensed by an image capture device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signals further include information sensed by a 3D image sensor.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signals further include information sensed by an array of sensors and the person support structure includes a mattress, wherein the array of sensors is coupled to the mattress.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising communicating the alert to a caregiver via a nurse call system.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is generated if the time since last toileting is greater than 6 hours.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is generated if the input/output balance is greater than 400 milliliters (mL).
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input signals is received from an electronic medical record system.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input signals is provided by a caregiver.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input signals includes information corresponding to a fall risk analysis of the person.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input signals includes information corresponding to a medical procedure the person underwent.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the input signals includes information corresponding to the person's medication.
