# Bedranager

*/Startups/Bedranager*

## Startup Overview

Hospitals face constant bottlenecks transitioning patient beds between discharge and the next admission. This system ingests live Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) data feeds to orchestrate immediate bed turnover. It reads the exact moment a patient leaves a room and triggers the subsequent cleaning and prep sequence without requiring manual data entry or phone calls.

Incumbent solutions like Epic Grand Central, TeleTracking Capacity Management, and manual nursing whiteboards rely on unit clerks or floor nurses to manually dispatch environmental services and track room status. Instead, this platform operates with full autonomy in staff dispatch, directly paging the nearest available turnover teams based on real-time hospital routing. By removing the human coordinator from the dispatch loop, it eliminates the communication lag that leaves clean beds empty and new patients waiting in the emergency department.

Rather than charging flat licensing fees for software that staff must operate, the system is strictly outcome-priced based on actual turnover efficiency. The facility only pays when the platform successfully reduces the time a bed sits empty between patients.

- Aiming to recover 2+ hours of nursing time per shift currently spent manually coordinating EVS.
- Designed to autonomously dispatch EVS staff within 30 seconds of an ADT discharge message.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Single Campus · Price: ~$3.00–$6.00 per completed turnover · Inclusions: Standard read-only HL7 ADT feed connection, autonomous EVS dispatch, and real-time bed availability dashboards for up to 500 beds.
- Name: Health System · Price: ~$1.50–$2.50 per completed turnover · Inclusions: Multi-facility ADT orchestration, cross-campus staff load balancing, and custom SLA compliance reporting for networks over 500 beds.
**Guarantee**: Only charges for beds turned over and marked clean within 60 minutes of the ADT discharge event; turnovers exceeding the target window incur no fee.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Epic Grand Central already handles our capacity management. Rebuttal: Epic tracks the bed state but relies on manual clicks to assign workers; we actively orchestrate the actual EVS staff dispatch.
- Objection: Our environmental services team does not use smartphones. Rebuttal: Designed to integrate with existing hospital communication hardware, including Vocera badges, pagers, and standard SMS.
- Objection: Hospital IT will block a new bidirectional EHR integration. Rebuttal: Operates entirely on a standard, read-only outbound ADT feed, requiring zero write-access to the EHR.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day single-unit deployment tracking bed turnovers to prove that over 90 percent of beds are cleaned within the 60-minute SLA window, guaranteeing the pricing model.
- A 14-day IT sandbox test to validate the read-only ADT feed connection and confirm reliable outbound messaging to existing hospital communication hardware.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 30 percent reduction in average acute care bed turnover time.
- Aim: 2 hours of manual EVS coordination time recovered per nursing shift.
- Target: 30-second maximum latency between an ADT discharge message and the automated EVS staff dispatch.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A 300-bed acute care hospital transitions from manual EVS coordination to autonomous dispatch, shrinking average bed turnover times by 30 percent.
- A regional health system with 3 campuses implements cross-facility EVS load balancing, eliminating 90 percent of manual bed-status calls between charge nurses and cleaning staff.
- A high-volume urban emergency department integrates read-only ADT feeds with existing Vocera badges, ensuring 100 percent of discharge events trigger an EVS dispatch within 30 seconds.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Charge Nurse: Expresses relief that they no longer spend hours manually calling EVS to coordinate bed cleaning after a discharge.
- Director of Environmental Services: Confirms that automated dispatch directly to existing pagers and SMS prevents staff bottlenecks and clarifies shift priorities.
- Chief Information Officer: Validates that the read-only HL7 ADT feed implementation was completed securely without requiring write-access to the EHR.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Dominant EHR vendors restrict or severely price-gouge real-time ADT API access, cutting off the foundational data required to trigger dispatches. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Severe hospital EVS staffing shortages cause prolonged bed turnover times regardless of software efficiency, neutralizing the outcome-based revenue model. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Hospital worker unions file grievances against autonomous algorithmic task assignment, blocking deployment across major unionized health systems. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Epic bundles an automated EVS dispatch feature into their existing Grand Central module, making hospital IT departments block standalone point solutions. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the clinical leader driving unit flow, not an EVS dispatcher
- **Want**: to accelerate patient boarding by clearing beds immediately upon discharge
- **Identity**: the nursing operations director at an acute care hospital
**Plan**:
- Step: Point feed · Detail: Redirect your existing read-only outbound ADT stream to our secure orchestration engine.
- Step: Inspect logic · Detail: Review the automated dispatch rules for your specific units and EVS staffing zones.
- Step: Monitor turnover · Detail: Track live bed-readiness dashboards as rooms clear thirty percent faster than manual entry.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: When a patient leaves but the room stays red on the monitor, your entire surgical schedule stalls.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: Status-Quo Latency
- **External**: Discharged beds sit dirty for hours because Epic Grand Central requires manual clicks to alert environmental services
- **Internal**: You feel like an air traffic controller stuck in a grounded tower while patients wait in the ED
- **Philosophical**: Why should a clinical team accept boarding delays when ADT data already knows every discharge event?
**Success**: Beds turn over in under an hour without a single phone call, moving patients into clean rooms the moment a discharge occurs.
**One Liner**: Manual dispatch latency costs acute care hospitals critical boarding hours. Bedranager orchestrates immediate EVS dispatch from ADT feeds so patients move into clean beds faster.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: clear beds within 60 minutes of patient discharge
- **Unlike**: Epic Grand Central manual assignment
- **For Whom**: nursing operations directors at acute care hospitals
- **Category**: Autonomous Bed Turnover Orchestration
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Automate first turnover
- **Transitional**: Bed-Ready Dashboard Preview
**Failure Stakes**:
- Extended ED boarding times
- Canceled elective surgeries
- Nurse burnout from logistical coordination
**Transformation**:
- **To**: the hospital's throughput strategist
- **From**: a shift leader managing nursing whiteboards
**Controlling Idea**: Hospital bed turnover should be an autonomous reflex, not a manual task.
