Inpatient Bed and Unit Planning
|
Bed planning includes projecting the number of beds that are needed at each acuity level
and specialty. This involves applying the opposing trends of managed care and an aging
population on current census data and developing potential future scenarios.
Practice pattern trends, optimal unit attributes, and operational objectives are used
to stack the bed tower (assign bed locations) and develop unit configurations.
