Hospital bed having patient association control

A hospital bed comprising:

• a base frame,
• a set of casters coupled to the base frame,
• an upper frame assembly including a patient support deck having a plurality of movable deck sections, the movable deck sections being movable to change a position at which a patient is supported by the patient support deck,
• a plurality of motors operable to move at least some of the movable deck sections,
• a lift system operable to raise, lower, and tilt the upper frame assembly relative to the base frame,
• a set of barriers coupled to the upper frame assembly, at least some of the barriers being movable relative to the upper frame assembly between a raised position and a lowered position,
• control circuitry carried by at least one of the base frame and the upper frame assembly, and
• a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the control circuitry, the control circuitry being configured to command the GUI to display a patient association screen having at least one user input for selecting a patient to be associated with the hospital bed, the control circuitry further being configured to command the GUI to display a list of likely patients for possible association with the hospital bed from which the patient to be associated is selected to make a patient-to-bed association, wherein the list of likely patients is based on patient weight.
