QI domain

  • Timely

Significance

This measure captures the proportion of time where the ICU is functioning at or over capacity with respect to ICU beds. High occupancy indicates lack of critical care capacity or challenges with patient flow. A unit that has all their beds occupied will have difficulties admitting new patients in a timely fashion.
