Real-time bed availability dashboard for PACU and inpatient units to coordinate patient placement
Automated alerts for bed openings and surgical schedule changes to enable proactive adjustments
Integrated patient flow tracking from OR to PACU to inpatient, with expected stay updates

Target Users: Hospital PACU nurses, bed placement coordinators, and surgical scheduling managers

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per hospital department or per bed, with tiered pricing based on features and number of users
