Analysis of bed occupancy data on the acute medical unit. [PDF]
Future Healthc J, 2020 Hospitals may struggle to operate effectively and meet quality standards when unscheduled (emergency) admission rates are high in relation to operational capacity. Understanding patterns of ward admission and discharge from acute medical units (AMU) can help inform resource allocation. Discharges early in the day are advocated as a means to improve bed

Bed occupancy rates and hospital-acquired infections—should beds be kept empty? [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2012 There is growing evidence that bed occupancy (BO) rates, overcrowding and understaffing influence the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). In this article, a systematic review of the literature is presented, summarizing the evidence on the adverse effects of high BO rates and overcrowding in hospitals on the incidence of HAIs.
