For bedframe mobility, I was thinking if the frame base load-bearing parts can be positioned to accept a standard pallet jack from the side and maybe from the end then it could still be moved (more slowly than a gurney though). Wheels are not precluded but they add a whole new dimension to cost, sourcing and frame durability.

Two interesting ideas for raising patient’s head, one requires simple hinges and the other uses a piano hinge for some reason:
