Utilization rate of an identified critical piece of equipment or facility during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote the specific critical equipment or facility, as well as all assumptions used. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture the ratio of time when the machine or facility was actually available compared to the expected availability during the reporting period. Expected availability should not be reduced for times during which the equipment or facility was broken or not in use due to electricity shortages, for instance.
Organizations should report this metric separately for each equipment and facility.
Patient bed occupancy rate is a common usage example for organizations operating in health care.
