Further clarification on the diversity of demand: The hospital beds that are utilized are based on the patient s need and ailment, which is determined by the nurse involved in their care. For instance, some beds have a lower vertical reach while other beds are made for larger sized patients. In more critical situations, the hospital beds provide capabilities that align with a patient s sensitive condition. Some beds or mattresses are tailored to prevent and treat skin breakdown by providing uninterrupted pressure redistribution without the need to transfer the patient for additional therapy. Other beds have a built in extender to add length to the bed for tall patients, which would require additional cost for replacement bed with extended length without this feature.   The bed is able to meet patient specific needs with various position controls such as dining chair which is best for post op surgical patients and vascular position for lower extremity swelling.       Based on the various needs of the patient the purchase of hospital beds would not be economically feasible for the government, therefore, the hospital is requesting the continued use of rental beds. The practice of renting hospital beds is common place within the VA due to the diverse needs of the patient.
