Bed-days freed = discharges per day × minutes saved × 365 ÷ 1,440. Revenue = bed-days × ARPOB × share you can fill. An estimate, not a forecast.
How it is calculated
- Minutes saved per discharge
- Current turnaround − target turnaround
- Bed-days freed per year
- Discharges per day × minutes saved × 365 ÷ 1,440
- Equivalent extra beds
- Bed-days freed ÷ 365
- Revenue opportunity
- Bed-days freed × ARPOB × share of freed time you can fill
Frequently asked questions
What is a good bed turnaround time in a hospital?
It depends on room type and cleaning protocol. A routine discharge clean is usually much faster than a terminal clean after an isolation case. Most hospitals set separate targets per room type and track the full chain: discharge entered, housekeeping notified, cleaning started, cleaning done, inspected, bed released.
What is ARPOB?
Average revenue per occupied bed-day: total inpatient revenue divided by occupied bed-days over the same period. It is a standard way for hospitals to value a bed-day, and is used here to estimate what freed capacity is worth.
Why does the calculator ask what share of freed time can be filled?
Freed bed time only earns revenue if a patient is waiting for that bed. If your occupancy is high and admissions queue in emergency or day care, the share is high; if beds often sit empty anyway, keep it low to stay realistic.
How does humblx support bed turnaround?
Housekeeping teams record cleaning with location QR scans, photo proof and supervisor verification. Discharge cleaning is a Housekeeping use case. Discharge Tracker, which is being developed to coordinate the wider discharge workflow, is coming next. This calculator estimates the opportunity from a shorter turnaround time; it does not assume automatic discharge notifications.
