title: [Recalculation of bed occupancy ratio of short- and long-stay nursing home patients].
abstract: The authors present a revised equation by which the ratio of beds occupied by short- and long-term patients can be calculated. In 1984, 8.2% of the beds were occupied by short-stay somatic patients, compared to 2.17% occupied by short-stay psychogeriatric patients, the dividing line between short-stay and long-stay patients being 6 months. These data are also compared with those in 1985. In the latter year a distinction is made between somatic short-stay patients who died, and other somatic short-stay patients.
