Average available beds, rounded to the nearest decimal or whole number.

Where available, actual data should be reported.

Where actual data are not available, this measure can be calculated by dividing the total contracted patient days by the number of days in the period, e.g. in a normal year, a hospital records 4000 contracted care patient days - the average available contracted care beds would be 4000/365 = 11.0.
Contracted hospital care service-contract role is code B (Hospital B).
Contracted hospital care service-contract type is code 2 (ABA), code 3 (AB), cod 4 ((A)B) or code 5 (BA).
Beds exclusively or predominantly for overnight-stay admitted care and same-day admitted care are collected and reported.
This data element is necessary to provide an indicator of the availability of admitted patient care provided under contracted care arrangements by a facility.
