One automated bed-management system for healthcare facilities includes multiple patient identification and location transponders, a location system for identifying locations of each transponder within a facility, and at least one processor having in a memory system a facility map database, a transponder-to-patient identification database, and a bed-assignment database. Machine readable code resides in memory for mining an electronic medical record (EMR) system database for data associated with patients associated with patient identification transponders. Machine readable code is also in memory for automatically determining an appropriate category of bed assignment for the at least one patient based upon data mined from the EMR system database. |
