1. A patient support apparatus comprising:
- a patient support,a barrier extending about at least a portion of said patient support, said barrier including a footboard;
a sensor detecting the status of a component independent of said patient support and said barrier and the non-weight status of a patient at said support apparatus;
a control system, said control system including a touch screen display for selecting a function associated with the component or a non-weighing function of associated with the patient and a graphical user interface for displaying icons at said touch screen, and said touch screen being mounted at said barrier and being reconfigurable to display at least one icon in response to a selection of the function to allow a user to monitor or control a parameter associated with the selected function; and
said sensor in communication with said control system, said sensor detecting the parameter associated with the selected function and said control system displaying the status detected by said sensor at said display when the user selects the function associated with the component or the patient.

Abstract
A patient bed includes a base, a patent support supported by the base, and a control system. The patient support includes a pivotal head-end section, with the control system including an actuator to pivot the head-end section and being adapted to control the speed of the actuator and, further, to selectively increase the speed of the actuator to pivot the head-end section at a greater speed.

55. A patient support apparatus comprising:
-
a patient support, a sensor detecting the status of a component or a patient at said support apparatus; a control system, said control system including a touch screen display and a graphical user interface for displaying icons at said touch screen, and said touch screen being reconfigurable to display a selected function; and said sensor in communication with said control system, and said control system displaying the status detected by said sensor at said display; said touch screen includes a user actuatable icon or display for actuating a device at said support apparatus; and said touch screen displays a function selected from a group consisting of apparatus motion, mattress air pressure, patient motion, patient biometrics, patient information, patient weight, security, alerts, exit and event log/history, help screens, diagnostics, run lights, and open doors or windows, and motion sensing, said sensor further detecting when another component is selectively coupled to said support apparatus, in response said control system generating an icon or display associated with said other component at said display.
