UTILIZATION DATA EXAMPLE
Suppose a facility reported that
for their 150 licensed beds there were 6,000 admissions and 40,000 total
inpatient days for the year then:
| 1. Average Length
of Stay (ALOS) |
= Total Inpatient Days/Admission
= 40,000 Days/6,000 Admissions
= 6.67 or 7 Days
|
| 2. Average Daily
Census (ADC) |
= Total Inpatient Days/365 Days
= 40,000 Days/365 Days
= 109.59 or 110 Beds
|
| 3. Occupancy
Rate (OCCUP % ) |
= (Average Daily Census/Licensed
Beds) X 100
= (109.59/150) X 100
= .7306 X 100
= 73.06% |
