Bed

Bed and Ward Management

This module allows you to map out your healthcare facility's physical layout by organizing areas into Wards and tracking the individual Beds within them. By linking a bed to a specific service or "Product", the system ensures that patients are billed the correct daily rate for their stay.

When Do I Use This?

• When your clinic or hospital opens a new wing or department and you need to register the space in the system.
• When you add new physical beds to an existing room and need them available for patient admission.
• When updating the billing rate for a specific type of bed (e.g., changing the nightly rate for an ICU bed).

How To Use

1. Creating a New Ward

Before you can add beds, you must create the Ward (the room or department) where the beds will be located.

1. Navigate to the Wards section from your main menu.
2. Click + New.
3. Enter the Name (e.g., "Maternity Ward") and a short Code (e.g., "MAT").
4. Provide a brief Description if needed.
5. Click Save.

2. Adding a New Bed

Once your Ward is set up, you can start adding beds to it.

1. Navigate to the Beds section.
2. Click + New.
3. Enter the Name (e.g., "Bed 1") and a unique Code (e.g., "MAT-B01").
4. Select the Ward this bed belongs to from the dropdown.
5. Select the corresponding Product (this determines the billing rate for the bed).
6. Click Save.
