Showcasing pediatric inpatient units
Pediatric inpatient units provide general acute care for pediatric inpatients.
Does your facility staff a pediatric inpatient unit? If it does, see how your department’s statistics compare to data from MECON’s PEERnext database, which currently tracks more than 33,000 items of information in more than 280 departments.
According to information from the San Ramon, CA-based consulting firm, average bed capacity is nearly 18 and patient days average about 2,460. There are a median of nearly 900 patient discharges and transfers, and staff work an average of 13.89 hours per patient day. Median expenditure tops $312 per patient day. (For more specific information on pediatric inpatient units, see charts, p. 94.)
