Utilization rate of identified critical equipment/facility during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote the specific critical equipment described, as well as all assumptions used. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric should be the ratio of days when the machine or facility actually was available over the expected availability. Expected availability should not be reduced for times in which the equipment or facility was broken, not in use due to electricity shortages, etc.
This metric should be reported on separately for each equipment and facility.
A common usage example for organizations operating in health services could be patient bed occupancy rates.

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
