total [hospital] beds / number of beds Explanation: You mention "camas disponibles", but I don't know if your text necessarily means that. I understand "dotación de camas" to mean the total beds in the hospital, available or unavailable. Total hospital beds Total hospital beds (HP.1) are all hospital beds which are regularly maintained and staffed and immediately available for the care of admitted patients. They are the sum of the following four categories: i) Curative (acute) care beds; ii) Rehabilitative care beds; iii) Long-term care beds; and iv) Other hospital beds. Inclusion - Beds in all hospitals, including general hospitals (HP.1.1), mental health hospitals (HP.1.2), and other specialised hospitals (HP.1.3) - Occupied and unoccupied beds stats.oecd.org/fileview2.aspx?IDFile=a5ead0f2-6fdd-46ce-a3de-9cef5e594446 Technically speaking, in the US this might be referred to as either "licensed beds" or "physically available beds", but it's hard to tell from your context: Licensed Beds: The maximum number of beds for which a hospital holds a license to operate. Many hospitals do not operate all of the beds for which they are licensed. Physically Available Beds: Beds that are licensed, physically set up, and available for use. These are beds regularly maintained in the hospital for the use of patients, which furnish accommodations with supporting services (such as food, laundry, and housekeeping). These beds may or may not be staffed but are physically available. Staffed Beds: Beds that are licensed and physically available for which staff is on hand to attend to the patient who occupies the bed. Staffed beds include those that are occupied and those that are vacant. Unstaffed Beds: Beds that are licensed and physically available and have no current staff on hand to attend to a patient who would occupy the bed. Occupied Beds: Beds that are licensed, physically available, staffed, and occupied by a patient. Vacant/Available Beds: Beds that are vacant and to which patients can be transported immediately. These must include supporting space, equipment, medical material, ancillary and support services, and staff to operate under normal circumstances. These beds are licensed, physically available, and have staff on hand to attend to the patient who occupies the bed. https://archive.ahrq.gov/research/havbed/definitions.htm Check out the sets chart in the above link. |
