Zusammenfassung:	A patient support apparatus includes a patient support surface, a plurality of ultra-wideband transceivers, and a controller. The controller is adapted to use the ultra-wideband transceivers to automatically determine a position of the badge relative to the patient support apparatus, to receive a badge identifier from the badge, to determine if the badge is positioned inside or outside of a volume of space; and, if the badge is positioned inside the volume of space, to perform one or more of the following: stop an alert that would otherwise be issued; determine a distance between the badge and a tag worn by the patient; send the badge identifier and status data to an offboard device that includes a dashboard screen; determine if a correct type of healthcare worker is present at the patient support apparatus; send the badge identifier to a server; and/or take other actions.
