Adjustable Patient Support Apparatus For Assisted Egress And Ingress

A patient support apparatus comprising:

• a base;
• a patient support deck supported by the base and comprising a deck section having a first portion and a second portion configured to articulate relative to the first portion to transition between a bed configuration and a side-egress configuration, and including a third portion positioned between the first portion and the second portion;
• an actuator system coupled to the deck section and configured to articulate the second portion;
• wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are substantially co-planar when in the bed configuration;
• and
• wherein the second portion is configured to articulate relative to the first portion as the actuator system transitions the deck section from the bed configuration to the side-egress configuration.
