What does the term 'Average Daily Census' (ADC) refer to in healthcare?

Patients that were discharged in a day

Average number of patients seen per day

Patients in a bed at midnight on an average day

Average Daily Census measures bed occupancy in an inpatient setting. It reflects how many patients are occupying beds on an average day, typically counted at the midnight census so the measure is consistent from day to day. ADC is calculated by averaging the number of inpatients present at each midnight over the period. This focuses on who is actually occupying beds, not on outpatient visits, daily discharges, or total patients treated in a month. So the correct concept describes patients in a bed at midnight on an average day.
