Community Hospital Administration decided to change the number of adult and children beds from 300 to 375 effective July 1. The total number of inpatient service days for adults and children for the year was 111,963. What was the percentage of occupancy rate for adults and children for the entire year?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The occupancy rate is calculated by dividing the total number of inpatient service days by the total bed days available and then multiplying by 100. The total bed days available for the year is 375 beds * 365 days = 136,875. The occupancy rate is (111,963 / 136,875) * 100 = 81.8%. However, since the change in bed numbers was effective from July 1, the calculation should consider the different bed numbers for the first half and the second half of the year, leading to an adjusted occupancy rate of approximately 90.8%.
