How do you calculate average daily inpatient census?

ADC is the average number of inpatient beds occupied each day over the course of a year. The most accurate way to calculate ADC is to add the daily patient census for every day of the year, then divide by 365.

ADC can be approximated by adding the daily census for every day within a shorter period of time—say, a month—then dividing by the number of days within that period.

Why is ADC important?

Calculating ADC gives providers a high-level understanding of their facility’s patient load. This figure can also be used by healthcare vendors or competing providers as market intelligence to understand a facility’s overall busyness. Examining ADCs for consecutive periods of time can help determine when a facility is most busy.

Yearly ADC can by multiplied by 365 to determine the total number of patient days per year. As demonstrated above, ADC can also be divided by bed capacity and multiplied by 100 to determine occupancy rate.
