Automated Care Logistics Blocked Bed Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Care Logistics, finds beds blocked for non clinical reasons, calculates how long each has been blocked, logs the reason and hours blocked to Google Sheets, and escalates anything blocked past 4 hours to the bed control Teams channel with the responsible department tagged.

In short

How do I escalate hospital beds blocked for non clinical reasons?

WebRun finds beds blocked for non clinical reasons in Care Logistics every hour, logs each with its reason, hours blocked, and responsible department to Google Sheets, and escalates anything blocked past 4 hours to the bed control Teams channel with that department tagged. Blocked capacity gets surfaced and owned instead of sitting unnoticed for a full shift.

  • Blocks past 4 hours are escalated to the responsible department automatically
  • A full log of block reasons builds itself for root cause review
  • Cleared beds drop off escalation without anyone updating a tracker by hand

Built for bed control coordinators · hospital capacity managers · unit charge nurses · hospital operations leadership

Questions, answered

Does the escalation name a specific patient?

No. It reports the bed, unit, block reason, and hours blocked. Patient names and clinical details are never included in the log or the escalation.

What counts as a non clinical block?

Any bed marked unavailable in Care Logistics for a reason other than active patient care, such as a pending discharge order, pending transport, or missing equipment, rather than the bed being clinically occupied.

What happens once a blocked bed clears?

The next hourly check reads the updated status in Care Logistics, marks the sheet row resolved, and stops escalating that bed automatically.
