Medway Maritime Foundation Trust has approximately 500 inpatient and day-case beds and 36 wards. In an average day the Trust treats 1 400 outpatients, 200 via the emergency department, and approximately 150 are admitted to the wards. The primary product is an electronic system that will be used as a strategic tool across the entire Trust to manage bed capacity and patient flow. The primary function of the solution will be to assist staff and patients operationally, although it will be expected to produce automated reporting for agreed mandatory requirements. Areas for implementation will be:

1. Bed Bureau;

2. All inpatient areas;

3. All wards;

4. All assessment areas;

5. All escalation areas;

6. All therapies;

7. Portering;

8. Housekeeping.

The solution will also be deployed in the emergency department's Critical Decision Unit, but not in the A&E attendance area.
