1. A notification system comprising:
a healthcare system operable to receive information about a configuration of a patient support;
a set of generic risks entered into the healthcare system, each generic risk having a risk type associated therewith;
an input to the healthcare system configured to allow a healthcare worker to select one generic risk of the generic risks and to assign the selected generic risk to a patient supported on the patient support, wherein a monitoring system automatically associates a patient support configuration with the patient supported on the patient support based on the generic risk assigned to the patient; and the healthcare system generating a notification to a caregiver when the monitoring system detects when a configuration of the patient support deviates from the patient support configuration associated with the patient.
