1. A patient support apparatus comprising:
a base;
a frame supported on the base;
a support surface adapted to support a patient thereon;
an exit alert system adapted to issue an alert if the patient on the support surface exits the patient support apparatus while the exit alert system is armed, and to not issue the alert if the patient on the support surface exits the patient support apparatus while the exit alert system is disarmed; and
a controller in communication with the exit alert system, the controller adapted to record a time when the patient positioned on the support surface exits the support surface while the exit alert system is disarmed, and to record a time when the patient positioned on the support surface exits the support surface while the exit alert system is armed.
