Abstract:
1. A control system, comprising, at least one input device; a processor configured to receive information from the at least one input device corresponding to at least-two each of: an egress motivating condition which corresponds to at least one of regaining consciousness, agitation, time since last toileting, input/output balance, or lack of catheter; an egress prerequisite condition which corresponds to at least one of a sleep state of a patient or a siderail position of a person support structure; an egress preparation sequence which corresponds to at least one of patient movement, patient posture, patient location, or patient activity; and a memory unit including instructions that, when acted upon by the processor, cause the processor to assign a numerical value to each of the egress motivating condition, the egress prerequisite condition, and the egress preparation sequence and to sum the numerical values to obtain a summed value which is compared to a predetermined threshold to determine when the person will likely egress from the person support structure and, if the person will likely egress from the person support structure, generate an alert.
