Enter the total number of discharges and the total number of beds into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Bed Turnover Rate. 

Bed Turnover Rate Formula

BTR = D / B

Variables:

  • BTR is the Bed Turnover Rate ()
  • D is the total number of discharges
  • B is the total number of beds

To calculate Bed Turnover Rate, divide the total number of discharges by the total number of beds.

How to Calculate Bed Turnover Rate?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Bed Turnover Rate.


  1. First, determine the total number of discharges. 
  2. Next, determine the total number of beds. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = BTR = D / B.
  4. Finally, calculate the Bed Turnover Rate.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total number of discharges = 2500

total number of beds = 1500
