What is the average daily census for the year? What is the ALOS for the
year? What is the bed occupancy rate for the year?
1. Average daily census:
67,106/365 = 183.85
68,012/9488 = 7.17 days
2. ALOS:
9,601-9,488 = 113
113 x 365 = 41,245
41,245/9,488 = 4.35
ALOS per pt
3. Bed Occupancy rate:
Jan1st-June14th = 165days x 175bed = 28,875
June16th-Dec31 = 199days x 200bed = 39,800
28,875+39,800 = 68,675 bed count days
68,675/67,106 x 100 = 97.7%
4. Total Possible Inpatient Service Days:
67,106+9,601 = 76,707 IP Days
76,707-9,488 = 67,219 days per yr
67,219/365 = 184.16 per day
