With this calculator one can experiment with the Erlang B or loss model. This model describes the relation between the number of arrivals, number of operational (or staffed) beds, refused admissions and the occupancy rate. The main result is that larger hospital units can operate at higher occupancy rates than smaller ones while attaining the same percentage of refused admissions (economies of scale). See Figure below.
