Bed Types

Users can set up different types of Beds for different types of medical care a Patient needs. A Bed Type is a type of bed used for Patient care and treatment. For example, an adult will have a normal bed, high care bed or an inflatable bed, but a baby will stay in a cot. The Bed type can also determine the price that the Patient pays to sleep in the bed.
