With most hospitals in Singapore achieving 100% or more occupancy rates, it is critical to
turnaround
the bed for patients’ availability. Every minute from patient discharge (time they leave the ward) is
counted to minimize any downtime of the bed.
UEMS realized this challenge as early as 2010. It developed its own Bed Discharge Management
The system that can improve communication not only amongst the housekeeping team but also
between
admission & wards.
Bed Discharge Management System works by linking with existing Bed Management System or any
other hospital information system like PIMS, HIS, SAP etc. With this interface, all discharge
cleaning
request is automatically routed to the housekeeping staff in charge in the Ward. With UEMS
developed BDMS, gives wards an additional option of requesting Bed Discharge cleaning from
housekeeping department directly in case of any ad-hoc requests.
