Total number of beds by state draws upon aggregates from this report from ESRI based on Definitive Healthcare.
- It includes a listing of total actual beds, ICU beds, and licensed beds. The licensed bed number can offer a clue as to how much capacity headroom a hospital has to grow in emergency.
- It also includes bed utilization rates.
- The AHA also has data about this, see KFF.org. That's beds per 1000 people, and it's not as granular. The source report is available for purchase.
- cms.gov has a report as well, which is what we used until we found the DHC report. It has one erroneous row for a hospital in NJ with an unreasonable amount of beds, but is otherwise good in that it has county/zipcode level data.
The sccm.org data about ICU facilities draws upon two sources:
- AHA 2015: 14.3% ratio of ICU beds to normal beds
- HCRIS 2010: 16.2% ratio of ICU beds to normal beds
The DHC dataset includes state-specfic ICU beds, but the percentages there look more like 7-8% of total beds. We're using the DHC dataset since it breaks out actual numbers.
- ECDC worldwide cases, updated daily
- COVID Tracking, updated daily. Draws on disparate sources and grades the quality of the sources. Notes indicate confidence in the underlying source.
These are similar modeling apps with their own sources of data and underlying models/assumptions
