Before You Begin
You need access to the CRM Bedboards module
Navigate to Admissions → Bedboards → Graph View
How Bed Availability Works
Bedboard availability follows these rules:
Past discharge dates: Beds become available for booking once the occupant's discharge date has passed
Future discharge dates: Beds can be reserved for new patients even if the current occupant has a future expected discharge date
Booking flexibility: The system allows overlap booking when discharge dates are confirmed
Booking Beds with Discharge Dates
Go to Admissions → Bedboards → Graph View
Locate the bed you want to book
Check if the current occupant has a discharge date (past or future)
Click Book to reserve the bed for a new patient
Complete the booking process for your new patient
Expected Result
You can successfully book beds that:
Are currently occupied by patients with past discharge dates
Are occupied by patients with future discharge dates
Allow for planned patient transitions and bed management
Important Notes
💡 Tip: This booking flexibility helps with planning patient transitions and maximizing bed utilization.
✅ Best Practice: Confirm discharge dates with clinical staff before making new bookings to ensure smooth patient transitions.
