Total beds: Licensed beds of any type currently in operation

Medicine/Surgery and ICU beds: Beds used for most inpatient, surgical, and intensive care; the baseline for surge capacity planning. Excludes beds for some specialized services such as NICU, maternity and psychiatry

Surge Phase 1: Inpatient bed space freed up by decrease in non-urgent surgeries and procedures

Surge Phase 2: Deploying additional patient care space in the hospital or ambulatory clinics (e.g., Sawgrass surgery center)

Surge Phase 3: Doubling up non-COVID patient rooms to create more inpatient space, converting non-clinical hospital space to support inpatient care by adding beds, staff and equipment
