Inputs
Weekend discharges as a fraction of weekday rate (drives weekend stacking).
A week of occupancy
Run the model to compare the average against the intraday picture.
Bed planning often uses an average: beds = admissions/day × mean length of stay (Little's Law) — a single flat number. But real occupancy swings through the day as admissions arrive before discharges happen, and stacks up at weekends when fewer patients go home. This compares that flat average against an hour-by-hour deterministic flow model over a week. It runs in R, in your browser, via webR.
