Bed Occupancy Rate Calculator

Bed Occupancy Rate Formula

The Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) is calculated using the formula:

\[ BOR = \frac{IDOC}{BDA} \times 100 \]

Where:

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

Steps to Calculate Bed Occupancy Rate:

1. Determine the inpatient days of care (IDOC): This represents the total days patients have stayed in beds over a period.
2. Determine the bed days available (BDA): This is the number of available beds multiplied by the number of days in the period.
3. Use the formula: Plug the values into the formula to calculate the Bed Occupancy Rate.

For example, if you have 1,000 inpatient days of care and 1,200 bed days available:

\[ BOR = \frac{1000}{1200} \times 100 = 83.33\% \]

This calculation helps healthcare facilities understand the efficiency of their bed utilization.
