Calculation formula: bed utilization rate = total number of bed days actually occupied during the period ÷ total number of bed days actually opened during the period.
The bed utilization rate is the ratio of the number of beds used per day to the number of beds available, i.e., the ratio of the total number of bed days actually occupied to the total number of bed days actually open.
The total number of bed days actually occupied should be accumulated from the number of people actually occupying beds every day, based on the daily dynamic report of each department; the total number of bed days occupied by discharged patients is the total number of days of hospitalization of the number of discharged patients.
Based on the number of days of hospitalization in the case of discharged patients, the total number of bed days actually occupied is used to calculate the bed occupancy rate and the average bed days, while the total number of bed days occupied by discharged patients is only used to calculate the average number of days of hospitalization of discharged patients, there is a difference between the two indicators.

Analysis of bed occupancy rates:
1. and the average bed workday can only illustrate the workload of the beds, not the efficiency of the beds. Another example is that the two doctors in charge of A and B beds as much as A doctor discharged patients more than B doctor discharged patients 23%, due to A doctor in charge of patients with an average of short hospitalization days, while B doctor in charge of patients with an average of long hospitalization days.
2. The total number of bed days occupied by the discharged patients was used to calculate the bed occupancy rate, and the result was that the occupancy rate of the beds managed by Dr. A was lower than that of the beds managed by Dr. B. Therefore, the bed occupancy rate calculated by this method was lower than that of the beds managed by Dr. B. 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. This can be seen in Table 2.
3. Their bed efficiency is also not high. A high number of bed turnovers in a given period of time indicates that the average number of patient days in the hospital is low and the bed utilization rate is high. In the statistical analysis carried out on a daily basis, we usually have to rate the bed utilization rate, the average bed working days, and the bed turnover rate in combination.
