Patterns in the Pandemic: Disproportionate Patient Burdens Among Regional Hospitals
Annals of Emergency Medicine(2022)
Abstract
Substantial discrepancies in COVID-19 inpatient burdens existed among Philadelphia-region adult acute care facilities during the initial COVID-19 surge. Trauma center status, urban location, low household income, and high reliance on public insurance were associated with both higher COVID-19 burdens and longer periods of high occupancy. Improved data collection and centralized sharing of pandemic-specific data between health care facilities may improve resource balancing and patient care during current and future response efforts.
