LATEST OKC HOSPITAL NUMBERS
Hospitals across four Oklahoma City health systems had no ICU beds available for COVID-19 patients on Monday, according to capacity figures they reported amid a wave of COVID-19 cases in the state.
Integris Health, Mercy, OU Health and SSM Health St. Anthony began reporting their own capacity data in August, which they said was an effort to be transparent about the impact of the surge on their hospitals.
The reports will come every Monday, Wednesday and Friday “until our health care community begins to see relief from this current surge,” the health systems said.
Here are the latest figures reported by each of the four health systems, as of Friday. The reports are a snapshot in time, as hospital capacity can change hour-to-hour as patients are admitted and discharged.
• Integris Health: 191 COVID-19 patients in its hospitals, up from 184 in the previous report. Zero COVID-19 ICU beds were available. Of COVID-19 patients in its hospitals, 84% are unvaccinated.
• Mercy: 103 inpatients with COVID-19 in Mercy hospitals across Oklahoma, with 46 at Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, down from 54 patients at the hospital in the previous report. No ICU beds are available. At Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, 78% of COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated.
• OU Health: Across all three of its hospitals, including Oklahoma Children’s Hospital OU Health, there are 64 COVID-19 patients, down from 96 in the previous report. No ICU beds are available. 86% of its COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated.
• SSM Health St. Anthony: 128 COVID-19 patients in SSM Health St. Anthony hospitals, up from 127 in the previous report. No ICU beds are available. An average of 90% of its hospitalized COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated.
The state Health Department has also resumed releasing daily hospital capacity reports that use data hospitals report to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The Health Department’s latest report Mo showed 29 ICU beds were available across the state, including three in the Oklahoma City area. Data for the central region was not reported, and the southeast and southwest regions reported having zero ICU beds available.
State health officials last week acknowledged the discrepancies between their reported data on hospital capacity and what individual hospitals were reporting and said the state was working with hospital leaders to address those discrepancies.
