Bed management is central to the service provided by NHS Trusts. Co-ordinating patients and beds is a significant logistical challenge and it is essential that beds are managed efficiently to meet patients' needs. Hospitals and Trusts need to deal with both emergencies and planned admissions, and ensure that patients are placed in appropriate wards. The entire flow of patients - admission, inpatient treatment and discharge - relies on efficient bed management.
The considerable impact of bed management across a Trust has led to Government consideration of the issue. Through the NHS Modernisation Agency, the Government expects Trusts in England to ensure they have well organised bed management.
