Koiko-Day

A bed-day is a unit of accounting for the activities of a hospital hospital, which corresponds to one day spent by a patient (patients) in a medical institution. Mainly used for reporting, analysis of hospital activities and planning and financing of medical care.

In medicine, a bed-day is used to assess the efficiency of a medical institution, as well as to determine the costs of treating and diagnosing patients. It allows you to estimate the number of patients who are being treated in a hospital and the number of days they spend there. This helps determine how efficiently a health care facility is performing and what problems need to be addressed to improve the quality of care.

Bed days are used to plan the budget for medical care, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of medical resources. They help determine which treatments are most effective and which patients need longer treatment.

In addition, bed days are an important tool for assessing the quality of care and its compliance with standards. They make it possible to compare treatment results across different medical institutions and identify best practices.

Bed day is a kind of average between the daily bed count and bed capacity. A bed day is the total number of days a patient stays in a medical institution. It reflects the time the patient spent in the hospital and shows how many days of the specified period the patient spent in the hospital. Accordingly, if this indicator is 20 bed days, this means that this hospital operates for 20 days. The higher the bed occupancy rate, the better the quality of the hospital’s work; to increase the rate, more work must be invested in the work of the hospital staff. Also, from more detailed data on beds, the issue of hospital financing can be resolved, because the circle of spending funds will depend on these data. When all the indicators are the same, then we can only talk about the hospital budget.
