Collection and Usage Attributes
A methodology for calculating this estimate that reflects the types of services being purchased has been adopted.

Currently, for community based admitted patient care, the bed equivalence figure is calculated from the number of patient days associated with this activity.
With increasing volumes of publicly funded admitted patient activity being conducted outside of public hospitals, it is desirable to have ways of illustrating the size of that activity using commonly understood measures (e.g. number of hospital beds).
