Facility
A facility in Care is a single care site — a hospital, clinic, lab, or telemedicine endpoint — and the boundary that everything inside a deployment is scoped to. Patients are registered, staff are organized, locations and devices are added, and billing is configured all within one facility.
Location
A location is a physical place inside a facility where care happens or resources sit — a building, a wing, a ward, a room, or a single bed. Locations form a nested tree that mirrors the real geography of your facility, so the platform can answer questions like "which bed is this patient in?" and "who is allowed into this ward?".
Healthcare Service
A healthcare service is a named offering that a facility provides — cardiology, a laboratory, radiology, a pharmacy, an outpatient clinic. It is the "what we offer" catalog entry: the thing patients book into, the thing schedules attach to, and the link between a clinical activity and the part of the facility accountable for it.
Device
A device in Care is a piece of equipment a facility owns and tracks — a ventilator, an infusion pump, a monitor, a camera. The record is the platform's durable answer to three questions: what equipment exists, where it sits right now, and which patient encounter it is supporting.
