Should I include all rooms?

Include every treatment room you could commercially schedule during the measured period, or deliberately subset if you are testing a pilot wing.

How is this different from utilisation?

Utilisation is often per diary; occupancy aggregates multiple rooms and schedules into one site-level ratio.

Clinic occupancy calculator

Estimate overall clinic occupancy when multiple rooms and schedules are in play.

Introduction

Where utilisation can be measured per diary, occupancy often summarises how intensively the whole site is used. Enter booked hours across all rooms and compare them to the maximum hours you could have operated.

The result helps leadership discuss staffing and opening hours—it should be paired with revenue and margin analysis before making investment decisions.

Context and how to use this

Occupancy here is booked clinical hours versus maximum sellable hours across the site. It helps leadership discuss opening hours and room counts without diving into every diary.

Pair it with revenue and margin metrics—high occupancy with low fees is still a strategic problem.
