Description
One concern about the impact of COVID-19 on providers is ICU capacity. Modern Healthcare has created an estimate of hospital beds for acute-care, critical-access and children’s hospitals by state.

- This is only an estimate as some hospitals do not report data to CMS. Some have opened or closed, while others have expanded or reduced capacity since 2017.
- Intensive-care beds are all general-purpose ICU beds.
- Specialty ICU beds are intensive-care beds in specific care units such as cardiac ICUs. Note that more than half of these specialty ICU beds come from a category that includes neonatal ICU beds. Our count of these specialty beds does not include those in burn ICUs. Those number fewer than 1,000.
- Acute-care beds are all acute-care and specialty beds, including intensive-care beds.
- Total beds are all reported, and may include hospice or beds for inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
- Estimated number of intensive-care beds: about 64,000. Estimated number of specialty ICU beds: about 28,000.
- Hospitals in urban areas averaged about 21 ICU beds. With specialty ICU beds included, that average rises to about 30. Rural hospitals averaged about 5 and with specialty included 7.
