Users and roles

Each user belongs to exactly one group, and logging in opens that group's own screen. Whether your hospital has 30 beds or 3,000, the four roles below cover everyone who has to know where a patient is.

Nurse

Move patients between the rooms and beds of the unit, by dragging
Update a patient's data
Discharge a patient
Propose to the bed manager that a patient be moved to another unit
Update bed statuses
Change the equipment attached to a bed
Filter the rooms and search for a patient by name, surname or SSN
View the log of what has been done

Bed manager

Works across units

Jobs list: work items attached to a patient and a unit — created, edited, confirmed and deleted
Patients list: add, edit, view, delete, search and sort patients

Why the roles are separated this way

The separation is not only about permissions — it is about who is in a position to make a given decision. Ward staff know which bed in their unit suits a patient; they should not be able to move that patient into a unit they cannot see. The bed manager can see across units, so the transfer decision sits there.

That is why a nurse's "Move to another unit" is a proposal rather than a move. The patient appears in the target unit's Depository in green, and the receiving staff place them.

The executive role has no operational buttons at all. It exists so that the people who answer for the hospital's capacity can look at it without being able to change a patient's placement by accident.
