Guide to Bed Safety Brochure The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in partnership with representatives from the medical bed industry, national health care organizations, patient advocacy groups, and other federal agencies (Health Care Financing Administration, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Veterans Administration) formed the Hospital Bed Safety Work Group in 2001 to improve the safety of hospital beds for persons vulnerable to the risk of side rail entrapment. Members of this work group include Julie A. Braun, Medicine and Law Committee co-chair, and Elizabeth A. Capezuti, Medicine and Law Committee vice chair. This group created A Guide to Bed Safety and invited the Tort & Insurance Practice Section to be one of its many sponsors.
