Abstract
A bed system includes a user interface module that is not mounted to a patient's bed. The user interface module may provide bed controls that allow a staff person to initiate an electronically controlled function of the bed from the user interface module. The user interface module may also be in data communication with a health information system used by a healthcare facility. The bed may include a built-in weigh scale, and the user interface module may initiate zeroing of the weigh scale. The user interface module may allow a staff person to activate bed controls that are not available at the bed.
