The total number of bed days actually occupied: the sum of the number of beds actually occupied at 12 o'clock each night (i.e., the number of inpatients at 12 o'clock each night) in each department of the hospital. It includes the actual occupied temporary beds, beds occupied by patients who died or were discharged for any reason before 12 o'clock on the same night after being admitted to the hospital.
Total number of bed days occupied by discharged patients: the sum of the number of hospital days occupied by discharged patients (including normal deliveries, undelivered discharges, discharges from hospitals after checking that they are not sick, discharges for untreated illnesses and discharges from hospitals after abortions or sterilizations performed on healthy people).
The total number of bed days actually occupied is the basis for calculating the number of patients in the hospital, the number of working days in the bed, the bed utilization rate and other medical indicators. In practice, the actual occupancy of the total bed days is based on the number of existing patients in the daily table of medical statistics.
The number of patients with false phenomena
1.1 patients for admission procedures, the ward has reflected the patient hospitalized, but in fact the patient without treatment and not hospitalized, the same day or a few days after the withdrawal of the bed procedures, while the ward has been reported to the number of admissions and hospitalization.
1.2 Transfer to other departments and other departments, not timely reporting. 1.3 Due to the limitations of the health insurance policy, some hospitals will not be discharged from the health insurance patients for discharge and re-admission procedures, so that a continuous hospitalization of the patient into the second or more admissions and discharges, but also will be transferred to the other department of the patient according to the case of discharge.
As a result of the procedures? interface problems, resulting in a patient at a certain time of day at the same time admitted, discharged from the hospital, thus double-counting the number of patients in the hospital. It also results in spurious phenomena such as the number of admissions and discharges, increased turnover, average hospitalization days, and decreased per capita costs.
