Note: After May 3, 2024, this dataset will no longer be updated because hospitals are no longer required to report data on COVID-19 hospital admissions, hospital capacity, or occupancy data to HHS through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The related CDC COVID Data Tracker site was revised or retired on May 10, 2023.

Note: May 3,2024: Due to incomplete or missing hospital data received for the April 21,2024 through April 27, 2024 reporting period, the COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Level could not be calculated for CNMI and will be reported as “NA” or “Not Available” in the COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Level data released on May 3, 2024.

This dataset represents COVID-19 hospitalization data and metrics aggregated to county or county-equivalent, for all counties or county-equivalents (including territories) in the United States as of the initial date of reporting for each weekly metric. COVID-19 hospitalization data are reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN and included in this dataset represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to COVID-19 hospital admissions, and inpatient and ICU bed capacity occupancy.

Reporting information:

• As of December 15, 2022, COVID-19 hospital data are required to be reported to NHSN, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to hospital capacity, occupancy, hospitalizations, and admissions. Prior to December 15, 2022, hospitals reported data directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or via a state submission for collection in the HHS Unified Hospital Data Surveillance System (UHDSS).
• While CDC reviews these data for errors and corrects those found, some reporting errors might still exist within the data. To minimize errors and inconsistencies in data reported, CDC removes outliers before calculating the metrics. CDC and partners work with reporters to correct these errors and update the data in subsequent weeks.
• Many hospital subtypes, including acute care and critical access hospitals, as well as Veterans Administration, Defense Health Agency, and Indian Health Service hospitals, are included in the metric calculations provided in this report. Psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospital types are excluded from calculations.
• Data are aggregated and displayed for hospitals with the same Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Certification Number (CCN), which are assigned by CMS to counties based on the CMS Provider of Services files.
• Full details on COVID-19 hospital data reporting guidance can be found here: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-faqs-hospitals-hospital-laboratory-acute-care-facility-data-reporting.pdf

• County-level hospital data are derived using calculations performed at the Health Service Area (HSA) level. An HSA is defined by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics as a geographic area containing at least one county which is self-contained with respect to the population’s provision of routine hospital care. Every county in the United States is assigned to an HSA, and each HSA must contain at least one hospital. Therefore, use of HSAs in the calculation of local hospital metrics allows for more accurate characterization of the relationship between health care utilization and health status at the local level.
• Data presented at the county-level represent admissions, hosp

In FY 2024, there were a total of ***** non-federal, short-term, acute care hospitals in the United States according to the American hospital directory. This included *** hospitals in Texas and *** hospitals in California, while there were just** hospitals in Vermont. This statistic presents the number of hospitals in the U.S. as of 2024, by state.

Hospitals in the United States decreased to 18.36 per one million people in 2022 from 18.46 per one million people in 2021. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States Hospitals.

Analysis of ‘COVID-19 Reported Patient Impact and Hospital Capacity by State Timeseries’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/187ac6e5-efdc-465a-aaf7-9ffbc1f6ffeb on 11 February 2022.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

The following dataset provides state-aggregated data for hospital utilization in a timeseries format dating back to January 1, 2020. These are derived from reports with facility-level granularity across three main sources: (1) HHS TeleTracking, (2) reporting provided directly to HHS Protect by state/territorial health departments on behalf of their healthcare facilities and (3) National Healthcare Safety Network (before July 15).

The file will be updated regularly and provides the latest values reported by each facility within the last four days for all time. This allows for a more comprehensive picture of the hospital utilization within a state by ensuring a hospital is represented, even if they miss a single day of reporting.

No statistical analysis is applied to account for non-response and/or to account for missing data.

The below table displays one value for each field (i.e., column). Sometimes, reports for a given facility will be provided to more than one reporting source: HHS TeleTracking, NHSN, and HHS Protect. When this occurs, to ensure that there are not duplicate reports, prioritization is applied to the numbers for each facility.

In 2019, 7.3 percent of all persons aged one year and over had one or more hospital stays in the United States. This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. persons with one or more hospital stays in the past year from 1997 to 2019.

In 2023, state and local government hospitals in Oregon had adjusted expenses amounting to some ***** U.S. dollars per inpatient day. This is the ********cost for a state or local government hospital per inpatient day among all U.S. states.

In 2023, there were over 34.4 million hospital admissions in the United States. The number of hospitals in the U.S. has decreased in recent years, although the country faces an increasing elder population. Predictably, the elderly account for the largest share of hospital admissions in the U.S. Hospital stays Stays in hospitals are more common among females than males, with around 7.2 percent of females reporting one or more hospital stays in the past year, compared to 4.8 percent of males. Furthermore, 16.6 percent of those aged 65 years and older had a hospitalization in the past year, compared to just 6.6 percent of those aged 18 to 44 years. The average length of a stay in a U.S. hospital is 5.7 days. Hospital beds In 2022, there were 916,752 hospital beds in the U.S. In the past few years, there has been a decrease in the number of hospital beds available. This is unsurprising given the decrease in the number of overall hospitals. In 2021, the occupancy rate of hospitals in the U.S. was 65 percent.

This dataset shows the overall percentage of hospitals reporting one or more elements for the previous week.  This is updated weekly on Mondays. The reported hospital list includes all hospitals registered with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and non-CMS hospitals that have reported since July 15, 2020.  It does not include psychiatric, rehabilitation, Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, and religious non-medical facilities.

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) State Inpatient Databases (SID) are a set of hospital databases that contain the universe of hospital inpatient discharge abstracts from data organizations in participating States. The data are translated into a uniform format to facilitate multi-State comparisons and analyses. The SID are based on data from short term, acute care, nonfederal hospitals. Some States include discharges from specialty facilities, such as acute psychiatric hospitals. The SID include all patients, regardless of payer and contain clinical and resource use information included in a typical discharge abstract, with safeguards to protect the privacy of individual patients, physicians, and hospitals (as required by data sources). Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels. The SID contain clinical and resource-use information that is included in a typical discharge abstract, with safeguards to protect the privacy of individual patients, physicians, and hospitals (as required by data sources). Data elements include but are not limited to: diagnoses, procedures, admission and discharge status, patient demographics (e.g., sex, age), total charges, length of stay, and expected payment source, including but not limited to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, or those billed as ‘no charge’. In addition to the core set of uniform data elements common to all SID, some include State-specific data elements. The SID exclude data elements that could directly or indirectly identify individuals. For some States, hospital and county identifiers are included that permit linkage to the American Hospital Association Annual Survey File and county-level data from the Bureau of Health Professions' Area Resource File except in States that do not allow the release of hospital identifiers. Restricted access data files are available with a data use agreement and brief online security training.

The number of hospital beds in the United States was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 16.6 thousand beds (+1.75 percent). After the fifteenth consecutive increasing year, the number of hospital beds is estimated to reach 967.9 thousand beds and therefore a new peak in 2029. Notably, the number of hospital beds of was continuously increasing over the past years.Depicted is the estimated total number of hospital beds in the country or region at hand.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).Find more key insights for the number of hospital beds in countries like Mexico and Canada.

Note: This dataset has been limited to show metrics for Ramsey County, Minnesota.

This dataset represents COVID-19 hospitalization data and metrics aggregated to county or county-equivalent, for all counties or county-equivalents (including territories) in the United States. COVID-19 hospitalization data are reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN and included in this dataset represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to COVID-19 hospital admissions, and inpatient and ICU bed capacity occupancy.

Reporting information: As of December 15, 2022, COVID-19 hospital data are required to be reported to NHSN, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to hospital capacity, occupancy, hospitalizations, and admissions. Prior to December 15, 2022, hospitals reported data directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or via a state submission for collection in the HHS Unified Hospital Data Surveillance System (UHDSS). While CDC reviews these data for errors and corrects those found, some reporting errors might still exist within the data. To minimize errors and inconsistencies in data reported, CDC removes outliers before calculating the metrics. CDC and partners work with reporters to correct these errors and update the data in subsequent weeks. Many hospital subtypes, including acute care and critical access hospitals, as well as Veterans Administration, Defense Health Agency, and Indian Health Service hospitals, are included in the metric calculations provided in this report. Psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospital types are excluded from calculations. Data are aggregated and displayed for hospitals with the same Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Certification Number (CCN), which are assigned by CMS to counties based on the CMS Provider of Services files. Full details on COVID-19 hospital data reporting guidance can be found here: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-faqs-hospitals-hospital-laboratory-acute-care-facility-data-reporting.pdf

Calculation of county-level hospital metrics: County-level hospital data are derived using calculations performed at the Health Service Area (HSA) level. An HSA is defined by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics as a geographic area containing at least one county which is self-contained with respect to the population’s provision of routine hospital care. Every county in the United States is assigned to an HSA, and each HSA must contain at least one hospital. Therefore, use of HSAs in the calculation of local hospital metrics allows for more accurate characterization of the relationship between health care utilization and health status at the local level. Data presented at the county-level represent admissions, hospital inpatient and ICU bed capacity and occupancy among hospitals within the selected HSA. Therefore, admissions, capacity, and occupancy are not limited to residents of the selected HSA. For all county-level hospital metrics listed below the values are calculated first for the entire HSA, and then the HSA-level value is then applied to each county within the HSA. For all county-level hospital metrics listed below the values are calculated first for the entire HSA, and then the HSA-level value is then applied to each county within the HSA.

Metric details: Time period: data for the previous MMWR week (Sunday-Saturday) will update weekly on Thursdays as soon as they are reviewed and verified, usually before 8 pm ET. Updates will occur the following day when reporting coincides with a federal holiday. Note: Weekly updates might be delayed due to delays in reporting. All data are provisional. Because these provisional counts are subject to change, including updates to data reported previously, adjustments can occur. Data may be updated since original publication due to delays in reporting (to account for data received after a given Thursday publication) or data quality corrections. New hospital admissions (count): Total number of admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the previous week (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction New Hospital Admissions Rate Value (Admissions per 100k): Total number of new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the past week (including both adult and pediatric admissions) for the entire jurisdiction divided by 2019 intercensal population estimate for that jurisdiction multiplied by 100,000. (Note: This metric is used to determine each county’s COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Level for a given week). New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Rate Level: qualitative value of new COVID-19 hospital admissions rate level [Low, Medium, High, Insufficient Data] New hospital admissions percent change from prior week: Percent change in the current weekly total new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 per 100,000 population compared with the prior week. New hospital admissions percent change from prior week level: Qualitative value of percent change in hospital admissions rate from prior week [Substantial decrease, Moderate decrease, Stable, Moderate increase, Substantial increase, Insufficient data] COVID-19 Inpatient Bed Occupancy Value: Percentage of all staffed inpatient beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric patients) within the in the entire jurisdiction is calculated as an average of valid daily values within the past week (e.g., if only three valid values, the average of those three is taken). Averages are separately calculated for the daily numerators (patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19) and denominators (staffed inpatient beds). The average percentage can then be taken as the ratio of these two values for the entire jurisdiction. COVID-19 Inpatient Bed Occupancy Level: Qualitative value of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients level [Minimal, Low, Moderate, Substantial, High, Insufficient data] COVID-19 Inpatient Bed Occupancy percent change from prior week: The absolute change in the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 represents the week-over-week absolute difference between the average occupancy of patients with confirmed COVID-19 in staffed inpatient beds in the past week, compared with the prior week, in the entire jurisdiction. COVID-19 ICU Bed Occupancy Value: Percentage of all staffed inpatient beds occupied by adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 within the entire jurisdiction is calculated as an average of valid daily values within the past week (e.g., if only three valid values, the average of those three is taken). Averages are separately calculated for the daily numerators (adult patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19) and denominators (staffed adult ICU beds). The average percentage can then be taken as the ratio of these two values for the entire jurisdiction. COVID-19 ICU Bed Occupancy Level: Qualitative value of ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients level [Minimal, Low, Moderate, Substantial, High, Insufficient data] COVID-19 ICU Bed Occupancy percent change from prior week: The absolute change in the percent of staffed ICU beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 represents the week-over-week absolute difference between the average occupancy of patients with confirmed COVID-19 in staffed adult ICU beds for the past week, compared with the prior week, in the in the entire jurisdiction. For all metrics, if there are no data in the specified locality for a given week, the metric value is displayed as “insufficient data”.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains information about the performance of Veterans Health Administration hospitals on timely and effective care measures. In this dataset, you can find the hospital name, address, city, state, ZIP code, county name, phone number associated with each hospital as well as data related to the timely and effective care measure such as conditions being measured and their associated scores.

To use this dataset effectively, we recommend first focusing on identifying an area of interest for analysis. For example: what condition is most impacting wait times for patients? Once that has been identified you can narrow down which fields would best fit your needs - for example if you are studying wait times then “Score” may be more valuable to filter than Footnote. Additionally consider using aggregation functions over certain fields (like average score over time) in order to get a better understanding of overall performance by factor--for instance Location.

Ultimately this dataset provides a snapshot into how Veteran's Health Administration hospitals are performing on timely and effective care measures so any research should focus around that aspect of healthcare delivery

Research Ideas

• Analyzing and predicting hospital performance on a regional level to improve the quality of healthcare for veterans across the country.
• Using this dataset to identify trends and develop strategies for hospitals that consistently score low on timely and effective care measures, with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
• Comparison analysis between different VHA hospitals to discover patterns and best practices in providing effective care so they can be shared with other hospitals in the system
