Period data

Regular beds in service during the period.

For example, 30 for a month or 365 for a year.

Sum of the inpatients in the daily census for each day of the period.

Discharges alive plus deaths in the period.

Sum of the days each discharged patient stayed in hospital. Admission and discharge on the same day counts as one day.

All in-hospital deaths in the period.

The deaths of patients who had been in hospital for 48 hours or more.

Indicators

Bed occupancy rate
—

Patient days ÷ available bed days (beds × days) × 100.

Average length of stay
—

Length-of-stay days of discharged patients ÷ discharges.

Bed turnover
—

Discharges ÷ available beds: patients discharged per bed in the period.

Gross hospital mortality rate
—

Deaths ÷ discharges × 1,000 (per 1,000 discharges).

Net hospital mortality rate
—

Deaths after 48 hours or more in hospital ÷ discharges × 1,000.

About these formulas

We use the definitions of INEC, Ecuador's statistics office, for its hospital beds and discharges register, which gathers data from public and private health facilities. In its methodology, INEC calculates occupancy with the length-of-stay days of discharged patients; here we use the patient days from the daily census.

We do not include the bed turnover interval because we did not find its formula in these official sources.

Formulas reviewed on November 8, 2026 against these sources.
