Overview
- The inpatient beds page shows a graph of beds broken down by the type of care provided: adult medical/surgical, adult intensive care unit (ICU), pediatric medical/surgical, and pediatric intensive care unit. It also shows a chart of average daily occupied medical/surgical beds by month and compares the yearly average with the previous year at the selected hospital and compared to hospitals within a 30-minute drive time radius.
- The ambulance trip page shows the number of emergency ambulance trips by destination hospital or starting community.
The nursing home page shows the average occupied and available beds at nursing homes with a 30-minute drive time of the selected hospital. Users can browse through the nursing homes, filter to display nursing homes by the CMS star rating, and display metrics such as average residents per day, occupancy rates, and staffing measures.
The emergency department page shows the number of ED visits at your chosen hospital and a chart of ED visits year over year by month compared to hospitals within a 30-minute drive time radius.
