The patient type is used to determine the type of care that should be provided to the patient and the cost associated with it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The patient type is assigned to each patient when they are admitted into the system. This information is then used to determine the type of care that should be provided and the cost associated with it. The patient type can also be used to track the progress of a patient's treatment and to ensure that they receive the appropriate care.
