About Hill Rom

Patient support in 2030. Engineered today.

Hill Rom is building connected, cybersecure, evidence-anchored patient-support platforms for hospital beds, monitoring interfaces, and surgical support surfaces.

Roadmap to 2030

Engineering milestones with regulatory checkpoints

  1. SBOM-by-default

    Software Bill of Materials disclosed for every networked Class II patient-support device in the active catalog.

  2. HL7 FHIR R4/R5 deep integration

    Native bidirectional bed-status and observation push with Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH pathways where validated.

  3. Predetermined change control for SaMD modules

    Machine-learning assisted exit-risk models update under an FDA predetermined change control plan where cleared.

  4. Remote-commissionable fleets

    Field engineer arrives primarily for hardware unboxing; configuration and verification complete remotely with audit trail.

  5. Carbon-aware installed base

    Net-zero pathway across the deployed Hill Rom bed and surface fleet with take-back and parts remanufacturing metrics.

Historical breakthroughs

Five platform shifts that shaped the portfolio

Electric articulation

Multi-function hospital beds with documented IEC 60601 essential performance for articulation under load.

Air-surface systems

Pressure-redistribution surfaces with IFU-defined microclimate and therapy modes for at-risk patients.

Smart bed status

Bed-exit, weight, and rail-position signals ready for nurse-call and EMR escalation pathways.

Home-care continuity

Hospital-to-home SKUs with caregiver teach-back kits and HCPCS-aligned documentation packs.

Cybersecure fleets

MDS² packets, SBOM disclosure, and coordinated vulnerability response SLAs for connected assets.
