关于医院普查差异和床位需求公式的一个案例。

Am J Health Plann. 1978 Apr;3(2):51-60.

Do we really want to limit hospital beds to 4.0 per thousand in every health service area? Are 80 percent occupancy and 1,000 patient days per thousand really what we want? The author suggests the goals are contradictory, and poses an alternative--variable occupancy standards.

我们真的想将每个医疗服务区的医院病床数量限制在每千人4.0张吗？80%的占用率和每千人1000个病人日真的是我们想要的吗？作者认为这些目标相互矛盾，并提出了一个替代方案——可变占用标准。
