      Location.form is the property that identifies a Location as a bed.  We will add new search parameters for both the Location.form and Location.mode properties.

       

      Note that these changes only enable the discovery of the total beds at a location, not the available beds at a location.

    Description

      For public health reporting (currently needed for the Covid-19 use case), there is a need to calculate the number of beds at a given location. 

      I can see several ways of doing this. The easiest would probably be to add search parameters for mode and physicalType, which could allow users to query for instances where the type is bed, then using partOf to bubble the numbers up. But numBeds might be a good property on it's own.
