Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
A hospital bed is both a scarce and expensive commodity in healthcare4 . Dynamics of utilization of beds were studied retrospectively by observing the trend of expansion of bed-complements, bed occupancy rates (BOR), average length of stay (ALS) and bed turn-over rates (BTR) over a period of 35 years. Optimum utilization of hospital beds is the primary function of the administrator. The bed utilization indices should be used routinely to assess, analyze and improve the available resources.
