<h2>
  🛏️ Managing Wards and Beds – Visual Layout & Interaction
</h2>
<p>
  The core strength of the Perfect Hospital Bed Management System lies in its
  <strong>
    interactive floor plan
  </strong>
  , where beds and wards are represented graphically. This section will guide you through managing wards, adding and positioning beds, and maintaining accurate bed statuses.
</p>
<hr/>
<h3>
  🧱 A. Understanding the Ward View Layout
</h3>
<p>
  When you select a ward, its
  <strong>
    floor layout
  </strong>
  appears in the main canvas area. Each
  <strong>
    bed
  </strong>
  is shown as a colored rectangle with:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    Bed name (e.g., Bed A1)
  </li>
  <li>
    Status (e.g., Available, Reserved, Untidy)
  </li>
  <li>
    Patient name if assigned
  </li>
  <li>
    Description of the Patient Illness (if applicable)
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  You’ll also see a
  <strong>
    legend
  </strong>
  at the top-left showing what each color means:
</p>
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>

      Tip:
    </strong>
    Set up all your wards first before designing the bed layouts.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<h3>
  ➕ C. How to Add Beds to a Ward
</h3>
<p>
  To create new beds and position them on the floor plan:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Click on the
    <strong>
      “Add Bed”
    </strong>
    button on the top toolbar.
  </li>
  <li>
    Then
    <strong>
      click anywhere
    </strong>
    on the canvas to place the new bed.
  </li>
  <li>
    A form appears to input:
    <ul>
      <li>
        Bed name (e.g., Bed A12)
      </li>
      <li>
        Isolation flag (optional)

      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
    Save the bed.
  </li>
</ol>

    Beds are bound within the ward area and won’t overlap with others.
  </li>
</ol>
<hr/>
<h3>
  🔁 E. Rotating Beds
</h3>
<p>
  To rotate a bed:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>

  <li>
    Use the
    <strong>
      rotation knob
    </strong>
    or manually enter the angle in degrees (0–360°).
  </li>
  <li>
    Click the
    <strong>
      Save
    </strong>
    icon to apply the rotation.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  This helps orient beds according to your actual ward layout.
</p>
<hr/>
<h3>
  🖼 F. Uploading and Adjusting Ward Floor Plan
</h3>
<p>
  To enhance the realism of your layout:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Click on
    <strong>
      “Floor Plan”
    </strong>
    in the toolbar.
  </li>
  <li>
    Upload an image (JPG/PNG) that represents the ward layout.
  </li>
  <li>
    Enter the width and height in pixels to resize the canvas appropriately.
  </li>
  <li>
    Save changes.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  The beds will now sit on top of your real hospital layout, aiding visual clarity.
</p>
<hr/>
<h3>
  🛠 G. Changing Bed Status
</h3>
<p>
  To update a bed's current condition:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Click
    <strong>
      “Update Bed Status”
    </strong>
    mode.
  </li>
  <li>
    Select the bed on the map.
  </li>
  <li>
    Choose from:
    <ul>
      <li>
        Available
      </li>
      <li>
        Occupied
      </li>
      <li>
        Untidy
      </li>
      <li>
        Faulty
      </li>
      <li>
        Reserved
      </li>
      <li>
        Discharging
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  Each change updates the statistics, and some statuses (like “Occupied”) can only be set through admission.

<h2>
  🚶&zwj;♂️ Managing Patient Flow &ndash; Admissions, Transfers, and Discharges
</h2>
<p>
  The Perfect Hospital Bed Management System provides a seamless workflow for patient movement&mdash;including admissions, transfers, and discharges. These operations update bed statuses, ward stats, and billing in real time.
</p>
<hr />
<h3>
  🏥 A. Admissions &ndash; Assigning a Patient to a Bed
</h3>
<p>
  Patients can be admitted using two approaches:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    <strong>
      From the Admit Queue:
    </strong>
    The Admit Queue shows all patients who have been referred for admission into a ward but are not yet assigned a bed. Once a bed becomes available, you can select the patient from the queue and assign them to an available bed.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>
      Using the Admit Patient Button:
    </strong>
    Clicking the
    <strong>
      Admit Patient
    </strong>
    button opens the admission form. In the form, you can assign a bed immediately:
  </li>
</ol>
<ul>
  <li>
    If a bed is assigned and available, the patient is automatically placed in the selected bed.
  </li>
  <li>
    If the chosen bed is unavailable, the system displays an error message.
  </li>
  <li>
    If no bed is assigned in the form, the patient is added to the Admit Queue to await assignment later.
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  <img style="max-width: 100%; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0;" src="https://sarutech.com/img/products/bed-admission.png" alt="Admit Patient Screenshot" />
</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    ✅ Once admitted, the bed&rsquo;s status changes to
    <strong>
      Occupied
    </strong>
    and the patient&rsquo;s name appears on it.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<h3>
  🔁 B. Transfers &ndash; Moving a Patient Between Beds or Wards
</h3>
<p>
  To transfer a patient:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Click on the patient either from the left sidebar or directly on their bed in the ward layout.
  </li>
  <li>
    The patient&rsquo;s profile opens in the right sidebar.
  </li>
  <li>
    Click the
    <strong>
      Transfer
    </strong>
    button.
  </li>
  <li>
    The system prompts you to select the new bed for transfer.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>

</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    📌 Once a valid target bed is selected, the patient is reassigned, and the previous bed is marked as
    <strong>
      Untidy
    </strong>
    to signal it needs cleaning.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<h3>
  🏁 C. Discharges &ndash; Freeing a Bed
</h3>
<p>
  To discharge a patient:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Click on the patient either from the left sidebar or directly on their bed in the ward layout.
  </li>
  <li>
    The patient&rsquo;s profile opens in the right sidebar.
  </li>
  <li>
    Click the
    <strong>
      Discharge
    </strong>
    button.
  </li>
  <li>
    Fill in the discharge form, including reason and optional digital signature.
  </li>
  <li>
    Submit to complete the discharge.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  <img style="max-width: 100%; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0;" src="https://sarutech.com/img/products/bed-discharge.png" alt="Discharge Patient Screenshot" />
</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    🛏️ The bed is automatically marked as
    <strong>
      Untidy
    </strong>
    after discharge to notify housekeeping.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<h3>
  🧾 D. Printing a Patient Admission Slip
</h3>
<p>
  You can generate and print an admission slip for documentation:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    Select a patient in a bed.
  </li>
  <li>
    In the right panel, click
    <strong>
      Print Slip
    </strong>
    .
  </li>
  <li>
    A new tab opens with the slip ready to print.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  <img style="max-width: 100%; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 10px 0;" src="https://sarutech.com/img/products/bed-print-slip.png" alt="Print Admission Slip Screenshot" />
</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    📌 Useful for admissions desk records, ward handovers, and audits.
