One should mention the TOVE effort going back 15 years ago that
started on abn Organization Ontology for Enterprise Modelling. It had
Organization Terminology & Axiom. Michael Gruninger was part of that
effort so it has some rigor. (01)
Doug's prision example of the various semantics underlying the concept
of a "prison bed", I a remined of similar things that went into
information modeling of "hospital bed". There are various bed types
(AdultICU, MedicalSurgical...) bed capacity and availablity are
important aggregrates of the institution etc. (02)
The OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Hospital AVailability Exchange
(HAVE) Version 1.0 had 9 types of beds described this way: (03)
AdultICU - Capacity status for adult ICU bed type.
These can support critically ill or injured patients, including
ventilator support.
This category includes all major subtypes of ICU beds, including neuro,
cardiac, trauma, or medical, with the exception that this category does not
include burn ICU beds. (04)
2. PediatricICU
Capacity status for pediatric ICU beds. This is similar to adult ICU beds, but
for patients 17-years-old and younger. (05)
3. NeonatalICU
Capacity status for nenonatal ICU beds. (06)
4. EmergencyDepartment
Capacity status for beds within the Emergency Department used for acute
care. (07)
5. NurseryBeds
Capacity Status for Neonatal or newborn care beds including all bed types
other than Neonatal ICU (08)
6. MedicalSurgical - Capacity status for medical-surgical beds.
These are also thought of as ward beds.
These beds may or may not include cardiac telemetry capability
7. RehabLongTermCare Capacity Status for Rehabilitation/Long term care beds.
Beds designated as long term care rehabilitation. These do not include floor
beds. (09)
8. Burn - Capacity status for burn beds.
These are thought of as burn ICU beds, either approved by the American
Burn Association or self-designated.
These beds are NOT to be included in other ICU bed counts. (010)
9. Pediatrics (011)
