ReOpen DC Hospital Bed Utilization

Occupied beds include those within inpatient and intensive care units. Patients may be ventilated. The total count includes patients who are being treated for conditions unrelated to COVID-19. Medical surge beds are not considered as part of the total. There are some days where one or more hospitals did not report bed usage. For these dates, the bed usage for that hospital from the previous date is used for analysis purposes. Acute care hospitals in DC are: Howard University Hospital, United Medical Center, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Children's National Medical Center, Sibley Memorial Hospital, George Washington University Hospital, Georgetown University Hospital. This data is used to calculate the Reopening DC metric to stay below 80% of total bed capacity without increases due to medical surge. Data are subject to change on a daily basis and reported at a 2-day lag for proper analysis.
