Novel indicator for the assessment of hospital bed occupancy

Orvosi Hetilap, 2011
In the past decades the bed occupancy of hospitals in Hungary has been calculated from the average of in-patient days and the number of beds during a given period of time. This is the only measure being currently looked at when evaluating the performance of hospitals and changing their bed capacity.

A simulation model of bed-occupancy in a critical care unit

Journal of Simulation, 2010
This article focuses on the Critical Care Unit (CCU) of a large teaching hospital. The aim of the study was to optimise the number of beds available in order to minimise cancellations of Elective surgery and maintain an acceptable level of bed-occupancy.

Bed Occupancy by Diabetic Patients

Medical Journal of Australia, 1979
The 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.

Modelling Variability in Hospital Bed Occupancy

Health Care Management Science, 2005
A 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.

National Pediatric Bed Occupancy

Pediatrics, 2018
Background: We previously reported an estimate of the national pediatric (ped) bed census that demonstrated a 4% loss of total med/surg/PICU beds from 2002 to 2011. A deeper look revealed -7% med/surg beds, +12% PICU beds, a loss in beds at small (sm) and medium (med) sized hospitals as well as non-freestanding children's (nonCH) hospitals and gains in

Hospital bed occupancy: more than queuing for a bed

Medical Journal of Australia, 2010
Timely 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 ...

Hospital bed occupancy demystified

British Journal of Healthcare Management, 2011
Part 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.
