Bed Setup

A user can set up different types of Beds for different types of medical care a Patient needs. Certain beds can only be used for certain Wards for, example, a cot can only be available in a pediatric Ward. Additionally, using the Bed Setup function, a user can make beds for Patients to occupy, giving the user better access to the Patient's Hospital case and the ability to track where the Patient is in the facility.
