Claim 0:
1. A patient bed comprising:
a frame configured to support a patient,
circuitry carried by the frame and including one or more processors and non- transitory computer readable memory storing executable instructions, the one or more processors executing the executable instructions to cause communication with a remote server storing patient identification data, and
a graphical user interface (GUI) carried by the frame and coupled to the circuitry, the circuitry receiving the patient identification data from the remote server, wherein the circuitry commands the GUI to display at least one user interface screen including a first screen having a patient identification field displaying the patient identification data received from the remote server and including at least one of a name of a patient positioned on the patient bed and a patient identification number of the patient, wherein the first screen is used by a caregiver to manually validate the patient identification data,
the circuitry being configured to prompt the caregiver to manually enter a location data of the patient bed before manually validating the patient identification data, and
the circuitry being configured to transmit the patient identification data validated by the caregiver, the location data, and a bed identification (ID) from the bed, wherein the circuitry commands the GUI to display a second screen of the at least one interface screen that displays a patient validation icon indicative of whether the patient identification data has been validated,
wherein the circuitry is configured to prompt the caregiver to manually enter the location data of the patient bed after a threshold period of time elapses subsequent to a power plug of the circuitry being plugged into an outlet of a healthcare facility and subsequent to casters of the frame being braked.
