bed availability

Bed availability refers to the number of unoccupied beds in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital, at a given time. It indicates whether there is capacity to admit new patients needing care. When beds are available, healthcare providers can accept more patients; when beds are full, patients may need to wait or be transferred elsewhere. Monitoring bed availability helps manage resources effectively, ensures timely treatment, and prevents overcrowding, ultimately supporting better patient outcomes and efficient hospital operations.
