What the cards show

CardMeaning
Occupancy nowOccupied beds as a percentage of beds in service, with the number of inpatients. This is always about the present, not the period.
AdmissionsPatients admitted in the period (cancelled admissions are not counted), and how many were discharged
Average stayAverage days of the stays discharged in the period, and the bed days billed
RevenueSettled bills of stays discharged in the period, split into beds and charges

Below the cards:

  • Occupancy by ward lists each active ward with "occupied of beds".
  • How patients left counts discharges in the period by type: Recovered, Improved, Referred, Left against medical advice or Deceased.

Good to know

  • Revenue counts only bills that have been settled, and it is the total before tax. The tax and the payments are on the posted invoices (see Charge the bill). A stay that is discharged but not billed yet is not in the revenue.
  • Beds in maintenance or blocked are left out of the "in service" count used for occupancy.
  • The ward board shows today's figures (inpatients, admitted and discharged today, free beds) on one screen; see Use the ward board.
