Особенности: United Medical Center officially closed and Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health opened on April 15. Although not all declines in volume were due to this transition, it affected a majority of metrics throughout the report with most showing a decrease in numbers. A look at Fig. 1 below outlines the changes in our focus metrics, all presenting a decline in volumes this month. Observation admissions declined from 10% over 2020 pre-COVID baseline in March to 4% in April. Psychiatric admissions showed the same decreasing pattern going from -19% below baseline in March to -23% in April. Emergency department visits and acute care admissions also show a decline in volumes going from -23% and -14% below baseline in March to -25% and -16% in April, respectively. Ambulatory surgeries are the only focus metric with increased volumes, going from 0% to 4% over baseline from last month to current month. Newborn and neonatal admissions also present their lowest volumes in the past 15-month period displayed in the report as depicted in Tables 12 and 15.
