Of the 1,876 staffed beds statewide, only 251 are open for patients.about how hospitals have been strained in recent weeks. "The larger hospitals are always staffed and meant to be run at a high level of occupancy," Moch said."That is how they manage efficiency and margins for their facilities, but in my lifetime, North Dakota has not seen anything like this where all hospitals are being impacted at the same time."
Moch added:"This has the potential to lead to the cancelation of elective surgeries to free up hospital beds, which means potential delayed care for patients.
