ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in health care institutions to record and indicate when the bedding of a patient's bed should be changed comprises a body having a recording and display area and a control that sets the recording and display area to reveal a predetermined bedding control schedule for at least one patient's bed. Thus, the recording and display area and the control cooperatively define a bed change indicator that accurately records and quickly displays the most efficient and effective use of bedding for a particular patient. In preferred form, the apparatus includes a body having a groove with markings to define the display area and a display bar that slidably fits within the groove. The display bar has transparent and opaque portions, and as it slidably moves in relation to the display area, the transparent portions of the display bar reveal a predetermined bedding control schedule. Different bedding control schedules for different patients' needs may be established by sliding the display bar between one of several orientations.
