Assessing Occupancy and Its Relation to Healthcare-Associated Infections
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2016
Abstract
Occupancy has been associated with risk for healthcare-associated infections, yet its definition varies widely. Occupancy can be modeled as a function of census, acuity of the patient care unit, staffing ratio, or some combination. This article discusses the appropriate parameterization of these measures and how to interpret their impact.
