Location detection systems are provided for determining the location of patient handling devices (22) in a healthcare facility. In one embodiment, the location detection system (20) comprises a locator (52) fixed in each zone (A, B) of each room (Room 1) in the facility. The locator (52) includes at least one infrared transmitter (56) for transmitting a unique location identifier to a receiver (54) mounted on the patient handling device (22). A communication module (48) transmits the unique location identifier from the patient handling device (22) to a network (32) utilized by the healthcare facility for the management of patient, personnel, and equipment information. A processing station (50) located on the network (32) processes the unique location identifier to ultimately determine the room and zone location of the patient handling device (22). The processing station (50) may include a graphical user interface on a touch-screen display for reviewing and manipulating the location information.

L'invention concerne des systèmes de détection d'emplacement permettant de déterminer l'emplacement de dispositifs de manipulation de patients (22) dans un établissement de santé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le système de détection d'emplacement (20) comprend un localisateur (52) fixé au niveau de chaque zone (A, B) de chaque chambre (chambre 1) de l'établissement. Le localisateur (52) comprend au moins un émetteur infrarouge (56) destiné à émettre un identificateur d'emplacement unique vers un récepteur (54) monté sur le dispositif de manipulation de patient (22). Un module de communication (48) transmet l'identificateur d'emplacement unique du dispositif de manipulation de patient (22) à un réseau (32) utilisé par l'établissement de santé pour la gestion des informations du patient, du personnel et de l'équipement. Une station de traitement (50) située sur le réseau (32) traite l'identificateur d'emplacement unique afin de déterminer finalement l'emplacement de la pièce et de la zone du dispositif de manipulation de patient (22). La station de traitement (50) peut comprendre une interface utilisateur graphique sur un afficheur à écran tactile permettant de réviser et de manipuler les informations d'emplacement.
