Setting Up Hospital Locations in PawthosX One

Create a Hospital Location

1. Go to Settings → Scheduling → Hospital Locations.

2. Select Add hospital location.

3. Enter the location details:

   • Location Name — Give the space a clear name, such as Cage 1, Run A, or ICU.

   • Description — Add any additional details staff should know about the location.

   • Kind — Select the type of hospitalization location, such as a cage, run, or ward.

Set the Location Status

Use Active Status to control whether the location can currently be selected when admitting a patient.

• Active — Available during hospital admission.

• Inactive — Kept in your configuration but no longer available for new admissions.

This lets you temporarily remove a cage or other space from use without deleting it.

Set Species Restrictions

You can restrict a hospital location to specific species:

• Canine

• Feline

• Avian

• Rabbit

• Reptile

• Small Mammal / Rodent

• Other

If no species are selected, the location can be used for any species.

This is useful for areas such as feline-only wards, isolation areas, exotic housing, or species-specific runs.

Finish

Select Create Location.

The new location will immediately appear in your Cages, Runs & Wards list and can be offered when a patient is Admitted to Hospital.

Important: Hospital Locations vs. Exam Rooms

Hospital Locations are specifically for patients staying in the hospital. They do not accept appointments and do not appear as rooms on the scheduling grid.

Exam rooms are managed separately from the Schedule configuration.

Existing hospital locations can also be renamed, changed, activated, or deactivated from the Hospital Locations page.
