ABSTRACT:
A bedside control unit for a hospital bed is operable from a position within the bed and also from a bedside chair. The bedside control unit includes a base which attaches to the frame of a hospital bed. An articulated support is connected to the base which includes a vertically extending support member pivotally connected to the base, and an overhead support arm pivotally connected to an upper end of the support member. The control module is suspended from the overhead support arm. The support arm is moveable between a first position in which the support arm extends over the hospital bed and a second position in which the support arm extends outward from the bed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bedside control unit includes data storage means for storing data, such as patient information, and a display for displaying information stored in the control module.
