Formula
Utilization = (occupied hours + blocked hours) ÷ (rooms × open hours per room) × 100
All time inputs must cover the same planning period.
What the result means
Utilization shows the share of scheduled space time already consumed by activity and required turnover. It does not reveal whether demand and free time occur at matching hours.
Do not interpret a single utilization percentage as a service-quality target. Platform downtime, clinician permissions, documentation blocks, scheduling buffers, and peak-hour congestion require separate review.
