Incorrect calculation will lead to: (1) using the total number of bed days occupied by the discharged person to calculate the bed utilization rate results in, the longer the hospitalization days of the discharged person, the higher the utilization rate, and vice versa, low, and the correct evaluation of the bed utilization rate should be the actual occupation of the number of bed days, the higher the utilization rate, does not correctly reflect the use of beds in the period. (2) Some departments do not go to improve the efficiency of the bed, but the pursuit of prolonging the patient's hospitalization days to increase the bed utilization rate.
Grass-roots hospital bed utilization rate is low
Medical technology can not keep up, can only look at the small hair and small diseases, big diseases are sent to the big hospitals, and then the patient can not trust them.
Analysis of bed utilization
The bed utilization rate and the average bed workday can only illustrate the workload of the bed, can not illustrate the efficiency of the bed. Another example is that the two doctors in charge of the same number of beds, and the doctor discharged patients more than the doctor discharged patients 23%, because the doctor in charge of the patient's average hospitalization days short, and the doctor in charge of the patient's average hospitalization days long, with the discharged occupied by the total number of beds to calculate the bed utilization rate, the results of the doctor in charge of the bed utilization rate is lower than the doctor's management of beds in charge of the rate of use. Therefore, the bed utilization rate calculated by this method only increases the degree of bed utilization and does not increase the actual efficiency of the beds. As can be seen from Table 2, their bed efficiency is also low. A high number of bed turnovers within a certain period of time indicates that the average number of patient days in hospital is low and the bed utilization rate is high. In the statistical analyses conducted on a daily basis, we usually have to rate the bed utilization rate, the average bed working days, and the bed turnover rate together.
Criteria for bed utilization
It is difficult to agree on what the current standard hospital bed utilization rate should be. The Hill-Burton program, which is responsible for hospital development, has long used a bed occupancy rate of 85% to determine the need for additional hospital beds. The U.S. National Health Plan guidelines set a minimum average bed occupancy rate of 80% for general hospitals, 75% for obstetrics, and 65-75% for pediatrics, depending on size. Bed occupancy rates vary considerably from state to state, depending on size or equipment. However, bed utilization standards are critical to hospital planning. Hospitals can expand or maintain their number of beds based on their actual or expected bed utilization. Planning and management also determine overall bed needs based on bed utilization. For example, one state requires hospitals with more than 150 beds to have an occupancy rate of more than 92 per cent before expansion is permitted. Another state includes a minimum bed utilization rate in setting reimbursement for hospital care. The bed occupancy rate in China's domestic public hospitals is generally above 85%, with tertiary hospitals generally reaching over 90%. Private hospitals are generally below 80 percent, with the poorer ones at only about 50 percent.
The bed utilization rate reflects the meaning of
In hotels or guesthouses, it is used to count the ratio between the amount of services provided in a certain period of time (e.g., a day, a week, or a month) and the maximum amount of terrier service. Long-term statistics can optimize resources.
Why is the bed occupancy rate more than 100%
There are many hospitals, especially the famous ones, where there are a lot of people waiting in line to be hospitalized, to have an operation, and so on, and they need to use the beds. For example, today's beds are full, but tomorrow someone will be discharged and the empty beds will be booked. This results in a 100% utilization rate of hospital beds. And there are a lot of people who can't wait for a bed but need surgery urgently, and some hospitals will allow temporary beds to be set up in specific places.
How the average annual bed occupancy rate is calculated
Bed occupancy rate: a positive indicator. It reflects the general load of hospital beds and illustrates the efficiency of hospital bed utilization. Calculation formula: bed utilization rate = the total number of bed days actually occupied during the period ÷ the total number of bed days actually opened during the period
How much of the bed utilization rate meets the requirements of the Third Class
The appropriate range of the bed utilization rate is 85%-93%
Is the bed utilization rate the same as the turnover rate of the beds?
No
Bed occupancy rate; number of beds used per day (tenant occupancy can be subject to subject or period average)/total number of available beds (i.e., total number of beds)
Bed turnover rate: occupancy rate/360 days
