The average daily census is calculated by dividing the total inpatient service days by the number of days in the year. For adults and pediatrics, the total is 75,860 + 7,100 = 82,960. For newborns, it's 11,800. The total for all is 82,960 + 11,800 = 94,760. Dividing by 365 days gives an average daily census of 259.
