Maps in this section show the percentage increase in current hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) beds necessary to treat COVID-19 patients in nine different infection scenarios in Mountain West hospital markets, referred to as Hospital Referral Regions (HRRs). Hovering over the map will display the name of an HRR, the adult population, the population over 65, the percentage increase in current bed capacity necessary to accommodate COVID-19 patients, and the additional number of beds needed for infected patients (this metric assumes every typically unoccupied bed is filled prior to adding more beds) in the selected scenario. Two drop-down menus (“percentage of adults infected” and “time frame”) allow users to select the infection scenario they would like to visualize. The from the Harvard Global Health Institute is publicly accessible.
