Staffed Hospital Bed Ratio

Why is this important?
Staffed Hospital Bed Ratio is the average complement of beds fully staffed during the year, or those beds that are set-up, staffed, and equipped, and in all respects, ready for use by patients remaining in the hospital overnight. The exploding demand for healthcare in the U.S. is nothing new. But the growing critical shortage of staffed hospital beds, fueled primarily by the historic growth of an aging population that requires increased hospitalization, is a potential crisis. Within the projections, the Kansas population older than 65 years old is projected to grow at a considerably faster rate than the population as a whole.
