description | An efficient health care system combines maximum accessibility with high-quality treatments, as well as cost optimization of individual health care facilities throughout the entire system. In hospitals, the critical element is the number of beds within individual wards, which generates costs and, at the same time, affects the capacity to serve patients. The aim of this article is to discuss the restructuring and optimization of hospital bed occupancy in a healthcare facility in the Podkarpackie voivodeship. The analysis covers the years 1999–2018. In the indicated period, the analyzed healthcare institution restructured the number of beds based on a forecast of the demand for services, which resulted in positive cost effects, without limiting patients’ access to diagnostic and therapeutic care. The analyzed facility took part in a common trend of optimizing cost-effectiveness and efficiency of hospital operations in Poland. |
