Release reserved bed for some patients

Hi again. I'm creating a decision point for a certain percentage of my patients to go to a different recovery area. When that happens, I'd like to release the reserved bed for those patients only. Is there a way to do that?

In the activity after the Decision Point (where patients are travelling to a different location), you can use an "Activity Started Trigger" in the Advanced Functions for that activity. One of the options you can choose from in the dropdown is called "unreserve a location":

If you use this option, it will unreserve the location that was previously reserved by your patient.

There are some options you can change, like setting up a condition so the unreserve action will only happen in specific cases or specifying the location to unreserve. However, both default options should work in most cases - including your case it sounds like. Let me know if anything is unclear though.
