Abstract

Home health care is important for patients that being discharged from the hospital. The position of the patient is one of the aspects that need to be considered during the home health care. The position of the patient is based on how he or she lying on the bed. Hospital bed is needed during the home health care for recovery process of the patient but the price of the hospital bed is expensive. The hospital bed cannot be afforded by poor or average family. In order to solve this problem, economic patient bed attachment is going to be developed. This economic patient bed attachment can be attached on the standard single bed, so it is means that the patient does not need to buy the whole hospital bed. The function of the economic patient bed attachment is to give the comfortable position to the patient that is helpful in recovery process of the patient. Besides that, the angle of the economic patient bed attachment can be adjusted. In order to redesign the economic patient bed attachment, there are several characteristics that need to be considered such as cost, strength, safety, weight of the product and lifetime of the product. Other than that, the analysis on the economic patient bed is carried out using SOLIDWORK software to make sure that the design is safe to use for the patient. Lastly, a lot of research will be carried out in order to make sure that the economic patient bed attachment will be low in cost but high in safety factor.
