Chemed  (FRA:CXM) Occupancy Rate % Explanation

Occupancy Rate % is a calculation used to show the actual utilization of an inpatient health facility for a given time period. The occupancy rate reflects the degree to which hospital beds have been utilized even though the number of beds may have changed during the reporting period.

The average occupancy rate of community (that is, non-Federal, short-term general) hospitals is about 76%. We can recognize a hospital with a too-low occupancy rate as inefficient; such a hospital may find it hard to meet its profit goals. However, a constantly high occupancy rate may not be a good sign, either. Very high occupancy rates may reflect that the hospital is under great pressure from medical and labor sources. Thus, a reasonable occupancy rate is more acceptable than a high one.
