Abstract: Objective To analyze and evaluate the hospital bed occupancy in 21 cities in Guangdong Province. Methods Based on the four indicators of the hospital bed occupancy, average length of hospitalization stay, bed working day, and bed turnover times in 21 cities in Guangdong Province. The Weight Standard Forming Calculation, combined with TOPSIS method, was used to analyze and evaluate the bed utilization efficiency of hospitals. Results The hospital bed occupancy rate was 83.0%, average length of hospitalization stay was 7.7 days, the bed working days was 303.0 days, and the number of bed turnovers was 38.8 times in 2018. The top 5 cities with the highest bed utilization efficiency were： Meizhou, Qingyuan, Zhongshan, Chaozhou, and Yunfu, with S_i values ??of 0.791, 0.762, 0.737, 0.707, and 0.643, respectively. The 5 cities from the lowest bed used efficiency were： Shanwei, Dongguan, Zhaoqing, Maoming and Heyuan, with evaluation scores （S_i values） ??of 0.199, 0.338, 0.340, 0.401, and 0.415, respectively. Conclusion The average bed utilization rate was 83.0% in 21 cities in Guangdong Province. As an important medical resource, the hospital bed occupancy should be kept at about 85% to achieve the best utilization rate of medical resources and help maintain a good level of medical services.
