This assignment is to get familiar with a valuable website and to practice your research and analytic skills.
To begin, visit the website for Center for Applied Research and Engagement Systems ( careshq.org). You will see the two options of “CARES Map Room” and “Assessment Tools”. You will use the Map Room on the left hand side; click on the “Make a Map” option. From here, you can search for a plethora of data in different ways: for example, you may search the word “hospital”; you may Search by Topic, then Health, then Health Facilities, Insurance, or other options; or you may search by browsing by source of data.
For this assignment, search by simply typing “COVID-19” into the search bar, then choose “COVID-19 Occupancy by Hospital, DHHS 2022”.
Zoom into Los Angeles, CA on the map. Click around on the different hospitals for more information, and note that the warmer the hospital’s dot color, the higher their COVID-19 occupancy rate.
After seeing the hospitals’ occupancy rates and other given information (such as Average Daily Adult Inpatient Beds Used), note some observations about trends you see. What do you think affects a hospital’s occupancy rate being higher or lower than others? Describe some of the factors that will influence the hospital’s volume of COVID patients. Taking your answer into account, how would you suggest hospitals handle and combat higher occupancy rates during the current pandemic, from an administrative perspective?
Write a response answering these questions in 350 words.
