We request the bed once the MD decides on admission, report is called once the bed/room is"clean". Though it can be a challenge giving report to the floors sometimes, the real problem seems to be those in "bed control" (whoever and where ever that is..) who can't seem to ever find a clean bed until right before shift change (Hmmmmm...) which puts the floor in a bad position to take the report/pt.... We've involved the House Spvr now when these mysterious stalls present themselves and it has helped to solve most of this problem on both ends. We are about as well staffed as everyone else (NOT!) so we can understand both sides of the dilemma. If we ever find out "WHO" bed control is...they may not fare as well.
