Question: How well is the hospital currently utilizing its beds?

Short answer

Answer

Currently, the hospital is utilizing 71 beds.

Step-by-step solution

Capacity of the hospital in utilizing its beds

Should ice Hospital utilizes its top to full capacity three days during a given week, on the opposite hand, the doctors operate at the hospital five days per week, and this suggests the equation for the utilization of the beds will concentrate on two different perspectives, which is described in step2.

 Explanation 

The capacity of the hospital in utilizing its beds is explained by the calculation shown below:

Saturdays

Capacity Used = Sum of the daily capacity

$60+90+90+90+90+60+60=540$

Capacity Utilization for Saturday = 540/630 = 85.7%

Best operational level = capacity Maximum x 7 days

$90\times 70=630$

Capacity used = Daily Capacity

$60+90+90+90+60+30+30=450$

Capacity utilization Rate = Capacity Used/Best Operating level

Present Utilization rate = 71% and 85.7%

$$\begin{gathered} Utilization=\frac{actual}{design} \\ Utilization=\frac{450}{630}=0.71=71 \end{gathered}$$
