Bed & Occupancy Management

How Bed Management Works

• Each bed is a Healthcare Service Unit with Inpatient Occupancy enabled
• When a patient is admitted, they are assigned to an available bed
• The system tracks Inpatient Occupancy records with check-in and check-out times
• Real-time bed availability is visible across the facility

Bed Assignment

1. During admission, select the Service Unit (bed/room) for the patient
2. The system creates an Inpatient Occupancy record:

Field	Description
Service Unit	The bed or room assigned
Check In	Date and time of bed assignment
Check Out	Date and time when the patient vacates (filled on transfer or discharge)
Left	Whether the patient has left this bed

Occupancy Tracking

• Occupied beds are automatically marked as unavailable for new admissions
• Bed board view (via dashboards) shows real-time occupancy status
• Billing integration — Occupied bed time can be automatically converted to billable items via a daily scheduled task
