As part of an effort within Michigan to promote cost containment and equitably distribute hospital resources, the Acute Care Bed Need Methodology (ACBNM), a model for determining bed need based on normative use rates, was created. We describe herein the ACBNM, the associated interactive computer system, and the data base requirements, and make suggestions for improving the methodology. We also discuss the functions the ACBNM has served in Michigan and the role it could serve in future health planning efforts.
