Bed Occupancy Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) is:

$BOR = \frac{IDOC}{BDA} \times 100$

Where:

$BOR$ is the Bed Occupancy Rate (%)
$IDOC$ is the inpatient days of care
$BDA$ is the bed days available

What is Bed Occupancy Rate?

Bed occupancy rate is a measure of the utilization of hospital beds. It is calculated by dividing the inpatient days of care by the bed days available, then multiplying by 100. This metric is crucial for hospital management to understand the efficiency of bed usage and to plan for capacity and resource allocation.

Example

Let's say the inpatient days of care (IDOC) is 500, and the bed days available (BDA) is 1000. Using the formula:

$BOR = \frac{500}{1000} \times 100 = 50 \%$

So, the bed occupancy rate (BOR) is 50%.
