DOIs:10.2017/IJRCS/202501011     |     Paper ID: IJRCS202501011The lack of real-time hospital bed availability information poses a significant challenge in healthcare, particularly during emergencies. Existing systems are either fragmented, inaccessible, or fail to update bed availability dynamically. This research analyses the need for a robust solution, explores challenges in real-world hospital management, and proposes a web-based Bed Availability Tracking System (BATS). Patients and their families often face difficulties in locating hospitals with vacant beds, leading to delays in treatment and, in severe cases, loss of lives. The proposed system integrates real-time data updates, location-based search, and user-friendly interfaces, effectively addressing the identified gaps. Initial results demonstrate the system's potential to improve accessibility, optimize resource utilization, and reduce delays in critical care.
