Zusammenfassung:	Systems and techniques for monitoring, predicting and/or alerting for census periods in medical inpatient units are presented. A system can include a grouping component that defines a group of beds at a medical facility based on at least one grouping factor, and a group stability component that determines a measure of occupancy variability for the group based on historical census data for respective beds in the group. The system can further include a model selection component that selects one or more census forecasting models for the group based on the measure of occupancy variability, and a patient census component that applies the one or more census forecasting models to current patient flow data for the medical facility to forecast an expected occupancy level for the group during one or more future periods of time.
