Managing patient bed assignments and bed occupancy in a health care facility

A system for data management, comprising:

• a computer configured to communicate with an admission/discharge/transfer (ADT) system associated with a health care facility to receive transactional messages;
• and
• a database operatively coupled to the computer,
• wherein the computer is configured to generate a plurality of icons in a pattern of a floor plan of the health care facility, each icon conveying a first level of information comprising at least one of patient bed occupancy and bed availability,
• wherein the computer is configured to parse the received transactional messages to extract components of the messages and continually update the generated icons based on the extracted components,
• wherein the computer is configured to generate a link to secondary information in response to interaction with the one or more icons, the secondary information comprising medical information associated with a respective patient occupying a respective bed associated with the icon,
• wherein the computer is configured to initiate intelligent agents to monitor the ADT system for predetermined data over a predetermined period of time,
• and wherein the computer is configured to graphically modify at least one of the plurality of icons in the pattern and generate supplementary data via the intelligent agents for the first level of information based on the monitored predetermined data and at least a portion of the predetermined period of time, wherein the supplementary data comprises one or more conditions of the health care facility associated with the first level of information.
