Work out surge capacity estimate instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Separates physical surge capacity from staffed capacity, since staffing rather than space usually limits real surge.

Physical surge = baseline beds x surge percentage; usable surge = physical surge x staffable share
Beds without trained staff cannot safely take patients, so workforce is the binding constraint in almost every surge plan.
Space, staff, stuff and systems: the standard framework for assessing surge capacity.
