Measure how fully vaccination stations are used during an average operating day. Enter completed encounters, time occupying each space, available spaces, and scheduled hours to see utilization and remaining capacity.
Utilization compares time demanded with time physically scheduled. Values above 100% signal that the stated workload cannot fit without overlap, overtime, or changed assumptions.
This is an average-flow estimate. It does not capture hourly arrival peaks, cleaning closures, isolation needs, or space reserved for emergencies.
With 180 vaccinations at 12 minutes each, eight stations open eight hours provide 64 station-hours. Demand is 36 hours, so utilization is 56.3% and 28 hours remain.
Include all minutes the space is unavailable to another patient, including setup, service, documentation, and turnover.
Yes. That means the entered workload requires more space-hours than scheduled and cannot fit as modeled.
No. Count only spaces that are actually available for the modeled work during the stated hours.
No. Reserved capacity may be necessary for peaks, urgent cases, privacy, cleaning, or infection-control constraints.
Run separate average, busy-day, and peak scenarios to see how much capacity remains under each workload.

| Demand | Encounters × occupied minutes |
| Supply | Spaces × open hours |
| Utilization | Demand ÷ supply |
