Monitoring patients utilizing computer vision to analyze patient movements on or near a patient support apparatus such as a bed. Computer vision is employed to analyze video feed of patients to detect movements indicative of clinical parameters. Information generated by the computer vision processor can be recorded to a patient's electronic medical record. Such information can be used to make clinical assessments, diagnoses, or detect critical patient events requiring attention of caregivers. In instances where caregiver assistance is required, an alert can be communicated to one or more caregivers through a caregiver call system.
