Through the Internet and the Medical Central Online proprietary databases, Patient Net allows continuing care facilities to make empty bed data available to local hospitals at any time. 

Patient Net is a time saver. It dramatically reduces phone calls and marketing costs. 

Through any Internet connection, and by filling in a simple form, geriatric facilities can update their bed availability at any time night or day to let hospital discharge personnel know what beds are available.

You do not have to load any software on your computer. Everything works through your Netscape or Microsoft browser (3.0 or higher release).

With Patient Net a continuing care facility can:

• Enter bed availability projections up to 7 days.
• Enter wait list times, if appropriate.
• Define bed types and availability: Alzheimer's, Medicare, male, female, shared, single, and luxury.
• Respond to a hospital e-mail request to reserve a specific room or bed type.
• Receive medical records in a secure, encrypted format from a hospital.
• Choose to display to hospitals the actual number number of beds available or just a simple yes/no of available beds.
