THE CHALLENGE
The ED never stops.
Vacant isn’t ready
Without live status, beds wait for cleaning or stock while patients wait for beds.
Idle beds
Chasing updates
Nurses, cleaners and doctors rely on calls and whiteboards to know what comes next.
Lost time
Delays you can’t see
With no record of turnover times, it is hard to see where the delays really are.
No data
Constant patient influx, large teams in many roles and high pressure leave little room for phone calls and whiteboards. Every minute a clean bed goes unseen, a patient waits.
HOW IT WORKS
One tap per room.
Each room has a tablet. Staff update its status as they clean and restock, and the whole ED sees it instantly.
01
Update from the room
As staff clean a room and restock supplies, they update its status from the tablet in the room.
02
See every bed live
The dashboard shows each bed as Occupied, Free or Ready, color-coded in a list or on a map.
03
Alert the right people
When a bed needs service, the right staff are notified and the task stays open until it’s done.
04
Learn from every shift
All activity is logged, so ED leaders can see how long it takes to get a bed ready again.

FAQ
ED Command Center FAQs
Can’t see your question here? Our team will happily walk you through it.
01
What is an ED command center?
A central dashboard for ED bed management. It shows the live status of every bed and room in the emergency department, with the tasks needed to make each one ready.
02
How do rooms get updated?
Each room has a tablet where staff update its status as they clean and restock. IntraPosition also integrates with your EHR system, so patient and bed information stays in sync without double entry, and every change appears across the system right away.
03
What do the bed colors mean?
Beds are color-coded by status, such as Occupied, Free and Ready, so admissions staff can see availability at a glance in the list or on the map.
04
Why isn’t a vacant bed ready?
Task management shows what is still open for each room, such as cleaning or restocking, so the team knows exactly what to finish.
05
Can we use our floor plan?
Yes. Map View shows your own ED floor plan, with treatment bays, walk-in areas and isolation rooms colored by status.
06
Can we track time in the ED?
Yes. The patient flow dashboard groups every patient by time in the department, shows their full journey from triage to doctor examination, and alerts staff when a patient passes a time limit you set.
07
What can we learn from the data?
All activity is logged, so ED leaders can track metrics such as how long it takes to prepare a bed after a patient leaves.
