Room Setup

A user can set up different types of Rooms for different types of medical care a Patient needs. Certain Rooms can only be used for certain Wards for, example, in a Ward, there are different Rooms, some Rooms can contain 5 Beds other rooms may only contain 3 or can be used as an isolation Room which only contains 1 Bed. Every Room must be set up to link Beds to the Rooms so the user can see exactly which rooms are full in the Ward.
