Three Michigan health systems are more than 80 percent occupied as the coronavirus pandemic persists, new state data shows.

The state and the Michigan Health and Hospital Association released data specific to hospitals or health systems for the first time on Thursday, April 23. The data gives a peek into which hospitals are handling more COVID-19 cases and how much personal protective equipment is available.

Trinity Health – which has hospitals in metro Detroit and West Michigan – is closest to capacity, with 89 percent of beds being full. Hurley Medical Center, in Flint, is next at 87 percent capacity and Detroit Medical Center is 81 percent full.

Beaumont has the most COVID-19 patients with 701, while Henry Ford Health System has the most coronavirus patients in intensive-care units with 224.

In total, Michigan’s acute-care hospitals are at 61 percent capacity with 3,611 COVID-19 patients hospitalized, including 1,148 of them in intensive-care units.

The MHA and the state are tracking personal protective equipment at hospitals by “days on hand” instead of total masks, gowns, shields and gloves.

"The purpose of this data is to provide meaningful, actionable information to the public and decision-makers," said MHA Senior Vice President Ruthanne Sudderth. "So without understanding the needs of a particular hospital or system, providing quantities alone does not provide a lot of meaning."

The equation for determining how many days equipment will last is based on quantity of equipment, bed capacity for the hospital and total COVID-19 patients at the hospital, among other factors, Sudderth said.

Kalkaska Memorial Health Center is in the most dire need of personal protective equipment, per the state chart, with less than a week's worth of masks, gowns, shields and gloves.

Other data points, like ventilators, may be added to the chart in the future, officials said. The data will update Mondays and Thursdays, with all numbers being from 48 hours prior.

Michigan has 35,291 people who’ve tested positive for coronavirus, including 1,325 new confirmed cases reported Thursday, April 23. The state’s death total from COVID-19 reached 2,977 on Thursday.

PREVENTION TIPS

In addition to washing hands regularly and not touching your face, officials recommend practicing social distancing, assuming anyone may be carrying the virus.

Health officials say you should be staying at least 6 feet away from others and working from home, if possible.

Carry hand sanitizer with you, and use disinfecting wipes or disinfecting spray cleaners on frequently-touched surfaces in your home (door handles, faucets, countertops) and when you go into places like stores.
