1. A mattress for use in a healthcare facility having a communication system and a plurality of bed frames, the mattress comprising: a support member;a unique electronic identifier, associated with the mattress, to uniquely identify the mattress; anda transceiver, associated with the mattress and operably coupled to the communication system, to transmit the unique electronic identifier over the communication system;a bed frame transceiver associated with a bed frame from the plurality of bed frames;an install-confirming device comprising a user input button that is used to confirm placement of the mattress on one of the bed frames of the plurality of bed frames;a communications network coupled to the transceiver, the bed frame transceiver, and the install-confirming device, the communications network used to communicate data between the transceiver, the bed frame transceiver, and the install-confirming device;a first visual indicator to indicate whether the mattress is successfully associated with one of the bed frames of the plurality of bed frames, the first visual indicator coupled to the install-confirming device;a second visual indicator to indicate whether the transceiver associated with the mattress is successfully communicating with the communication system of the healthcare facility, the second visual indicator coupled to the install-confirming device, the second visual indicator becoming enabled when the bed frame transceiver receives, via the communications network, a confirmation signal from the communication system of the healthcare facility, the bed frame transceiver receiving the confirmation signal and causing the bed frame transceiver to enable the second visual indicator; anda controller coupled to the transceiver and the install-confirming device, the controller receiving a signal from the user input button to confirm that the mattress is placed on one of the bed frames of the plurality of bed frames, to activating the first visual indicator in response to determining a successful association, and activating the second visual indicator in response to determining successful communication with the communication system of the healthcare facility. 2. The mattress of claim 1, further comprising a network interface device operably coupled to the transceiver, the network interface device adapted to store the unique electronic identifier. 3. The mattress of claim 2, further comprising an association device, coupled to the network interface device, the association device adapted to receive a signal indicative of an association with one of the plurality of bed frames. 4. The mattress of claim 3, wherein the transceiver comprises a wireless transceiver. 5. The mattress of claim 4, wherein the wireless transceiver comprises a part of the network interface device. 6. A method of determining the location of a mattress within a healthcare facility having a communication system, a plurality of bed frames, and a plurality of mattresses, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of mattresses each having a unique identifier stored in an electronic device;placing one of the uniquely identified mattresses on one of the plurality of bed frames;confirming placement of one of the uniquely identified mattresses on the one of the plurality of bed frames using an install-confirming device which is coupled to one of the plurality of bed frames and sends a signal to a controller to confirm that the mattress is placed on one of the bed frames of the plurality of bed frames;determining whether one of the uniquely identified mattresses is successfully associated with one of the plurality of bed frames by viewing a first visual indicator coupled to the install-confirming device, the first visual indicator being activated by the controller in response to determining a successful association;determining whether one of the uniquely identified mattresses is successfully communicating with the communication system of the healthcare facility by viewing a second visual indicator coupled to the install-confirming device, the second visual indicator being activated by the controller in response to determining successful communication with the communication system of the healthcare facility; andsending the unique identifier assigned to one of the uniquely identified mattresses over the communication system. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the confirming step comprises confirming placement of the one of the uniquely identified mattresses by actuating a device located on the one of the plurality of frames. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the device located on the one of the plurality of frames comprises a brake pedal. 9.

The system of claim 12, wherein each of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses comprise a support member and a transceiver, associated with the mattress, the transceiver being operably coupled to the communication system, to transmit the unique electronic identifier over the communication system. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the unique electronic identifier comprises an interne protocol address. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein each of the uniquely identified mattresses comprise a network interface device operably coupled to the transceiver, the network interface device adapted to store the unique electronic identifier. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the transceiver comprises a wireless transceiver. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the wireless transceiver comprises a part of the network interface device. 18. The system of claim 13, further comprising a computing device coupled to the communication system to receive and store the unique electronic identifiers from the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses. 19. The system of claim 13, wherein the computing device provides an interface to present information regarding the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses. 20. The system of claim 13, wherein the interface presents information that identifies each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses and that identifies a patient assigned to each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses. 21. The system of claim 13, wherein the interface presents information that identifies each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses and that identifies a location of each mattress in the healthcare facility. 22. The system of claim 13, wherein the interface presents information that identifies each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses and that identifies a type for each mattress. 23. The system of claim 13, wherein the interface presents information that identifies each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses and that identifies features provided by each mattress. 24. The system of claim 13, wherein the interface presents information that identifies each mattress of the plurality of uniquely identified mattresses and that identifies a history of use for each mattress.
