Bed Check and Sleep Charting Software

Bed Check and Sleep Charting are necessary in all facilities providing services to others. It is important for administrators and oversight agencies to know these bed checks are occurring per policy, procedure, regulations, and laws. Scan Graphix utilizes a bar code scanner to allow staff members to scan sleep data. The dates and times of the scans are not editable in the Scan Graphix system. This means that data is assured to be an accurate reflection of staff activities. Data is very quickly and easily entered by staff members utilizing the hand held scanner.  Sleep data
is charted using 3 categories:  asleep, awake, and bathroom.  Data scatterplots using 15, 30, or 60 minute increments.  Scatterplots are plotted using military time on the Y axis and days of the month on the X axis.  This allows the system to show one month's worth of sleep data at a time.
