French term

groupement de lits

French to English Medical Medical: Health Care medical administration
This appears to be a euphemism for "centralization"of beds, i.e. instead of having beds in several institutions, centralize them in one place, or, at the very most, two places. I would rather not use "grouping" because it's too vague, and "concentration" unpleasantly evokes the idea of a concentration camp.

pooling of beds

'Pooling' seems to be a term that is frequently used now in healthcare management.
Example sentence:

A beds committee attempted to minimize the effects of these closures by introducing a bed bureau, “pooling,” and a simple system for forecasting waiting list admissions.

agree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : suits the context well IMO
