Abstract : A critical component of hospital management is bed allotment turnaround time (TAT), which has a direct bearing on patient flow, resource use, and overall effectiveness. TAT is the amount of time between making a bed request and actually assigning a bed to a patient. Improved patient satisfaction, prompt treatment, and optimal bed utilisation can all result from cutting down on TAT.
