Bed Occupancy by Diabetic Patients
Medical Journal of Australia, 1979The Royal Newcastle Hospital Diabetic Education and Stabilization Centre was instituted primarily to improve diabetics' understanding of their disease and its everyday management. Simultaneously with a five-day education course, stabilization if insulin-dependent diabetics was undertaken on an outpatient basis.

STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluate the importance of hospital bed occupancy for 30-day mortality, inhospital mortality, readmission for inpatient care within 30 days, and revisits to the emergency department (ED) within 7 days among all adult patients visiting ...

BACKGROUND Our hospital has several characteristics different from the settings in which the central venous catheter (CVC) care bundle has been implemented so far, that is, care bundles or protocols are not systematically used, and the prevalence of ...

Modelling Variability in Hospital Bed Occupancy
Health Care Management Science, 2005A stochastic version of the Harrison-Millard multistage model of the flow of patients through a hospital division is developed in order to model correctly not only the average but also the variability in occupancy levels, since it is the variability that makes planning difficult and high percent occupancy levels increase the risk of frequent overflows.

Hospital bed occupancy demystified
British Journal of Healthcare Management, 2011Part one of this series investigated the adequacy of current models used to forecast bed demand. This part explores the issues surrounding the correct level of occupancy required to deliver effective and safe health care. Economy of scale as explained by queuing theory is a significant factor in understanding bed occupancy.

Hospital bed occupancy: more than queuing for a bed
Medical Journal of Australia, 2010Timely access to safe hospital care remains a major concern. Target bed-occupancy rates have been proposed as a measure of the ability of a hospital to function safely and effectively. High bed-occupancy rates have been shown to be associated with greater risks of hospital-associated infection and access block and to have a negative impact on staff ...

Background There were recurrent upsurges in demand for public hospital services in Hong Kong. An understanding of the contribution of some possible factors for the rise in health care burden would help to inform hospital management strategies.

Hospital Occupancy — Bed Complement
1981A hospital, like any facility or subfacility providing services on an unscheduled basis, must balance the productivity of high utilization with the probability of being fully occupied and having to refuse service. The administrator has essentially three controls upon these two measures: the bed complement, the admissions of elective patients, and the ...
