Use Another Bed Area when Area is Full

We are building out an OR and have two bed areas - one for Pre Op beds and one for PACU beds. When the Pre Op bed area is full, is there a way to have the patients use the open PACU beds? We also want to be able to do this in the reverse circumstance as well i.e. when the PACU beds are full, the patients can overflow to the Pre Op beds.

@Matthew Gillespie To build on this question, how would one then model and prioritize the transfer of patients back to their preferred unit when a bed becomes available?

You should ask this as a separate question. Asking a new question in a comment on an olde resolved question is likely to have your question go unnoticed. When you post your new question, can you clarify what your asking? Do you want patients to immediately stop what they're doing in the overflow area and move to the preferred unit?

In the Patient Destination field use the Based on Destination Status pickoption. You then list the different areas/locations in the order you want them considered and set it to use First Available.

Take a look at this example model.
