See available capacity and keep care moving
Manage bed availability and patient flow from referral to discharge within EMIS Web®. Bed Management helps your teams see where there’s capacity, coordinate admissions and discharges, and keep track of each patient’s stay.
With visibility of ward and bed status through the workflows your teams already use, you can make informed decisions about what happens next.
Support virtual wards and care at home
Care doesn’t stop at the ward door. Bed Management also supports virtual wards, helping teams track patients and manage capacity while care is delivered at home.
At East Cheshire NHS Trust, teams extended their use of Bed Management from community beds to virtual wards. Shared dashboards help colleagues see patient status, review capacity and coordinate care during multidisciplinary team meetings.
