Abstract
Back ground Bed occupancy rate is the average percentage of occupied beds during the reporting period. Hospital bed-occupancy rates have been proposed as a measure that reflects the ability of a hospital to properly care for patients. Whether this measure can be considered useful in guiding the planning and operational management of hospital beds in a way that improves how well patients fare while in hospital. Objective The objective of the project is to improve data quality management system and low bed occupancy rate from 42.2% to 80% by the end of July 2013 Methodology A pre-post intervention study design is used to improve the low bed occupancy rate in Abi adi Hospital, Data is collected from the admission and discharge registration log books including all patients admitted pre and post intervention by using the check list from each ward by data collectors. Result In this pre-post intervention study bed occupancy rate is increased from 42.2% to 66.3% and number of patients not registered their date of discharge and length of stay was decrease from 43 [5%] to 5 [0.04%] which is significant. Discussion and recommendation The study indicates that poor data quality management is one of the major causes of low bed occupancy rate in ABI adi hospital. Bed occupancy rate was increased from 42.2% to 66.3% in this intervention period the hospital management committee should give attention and do daily follow up by the liaison officer for its sustainability.
