Which disease occupies highest number of beds in all the hospitals ?

The correct answer is

Viral Disease

Analyzing Hospital Bed Occupancy by Disease

The question asks us to identify which disease occupies the highest total number of beds across all the given hospitals based on the provided table data.

The table presents the number of patients admitted for four different diseases (Viral, Heart, Kidney, Liver) in four different hospitals (A, B, C, D). The number of patients admitted for a specific disease in a hospital directly corresponds to the number of beds occupied by that disease in that hospital on that particular day.

To answer the question, we need to calculate the total number of beds occupied by each disease by summing the patient numbers for that disease across all four hospitals.

Calculating Total Beds Occupied per Disease

We will sum the number of patients for each disease from Hospital A, Hospital B, Hospital C, and Hospital D.

Total Beds for Viral Disease

Total beds occupied by Viral Disease = Patients in Hospital A + Patients in Hospital B + Patients in Hospital C + Patients in Hospital D

\( = 30 + 15 + 35 + 10 \)

\( = 90 \text{ beds} \)

Total Beds for Heart Disease

Total beds occupied by Heart Disease = Patients in Hospital A + Patients in Hospital B + Patients in Hospital C + Patients in Hospital D

\( = 35 + 10 + 30 + 10 \)

\( = 85 \text{ beds} \)

Total Beds for Kidney Disease

Total beds occupied by Kidney Disease = Patients in Hospital A + Patients in Hospital B + Patients in Hospital C + Patients in Hospital D

\( = 15 + 5 + 15 + 5 \)

\( = 40 \text{ beds} \)

Total Beds for Liver Disease

Total beds occupied by Liver Disease = Patients in Hospital A + Patients in Hospital B + Patients in Hospital C + Patients in Hospital D

\( = 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 \)

\( = 35 \text{ beds} \)

Comparing Total Bed Occupancy by Disease

Now, let's compare the total number of beds occupied by each disease across all hospitals:

  • Viral Disease: 90 beds
  • Heart Disease: 85 beds
  • Kidney Disease: 40 beds
  • Liver Disease: 35 beds

By comparing these totals, we can clearly see that Viral Disease has the highest total number of occupied beds (90 beds) among the four diseases.

Conclusion: Highest Occupancy Disease

Based on the calculations from the provided data, Viral Disease occupies the highest number of beds in all the hospitals combined.

Additional Information: Understanding Hospital Data Analysis

Analyzing data like patient admissions and bed occupancy is crucial for hospital administration and public health planning. This type of data helps hospitals understand which diseases are prevalent, how resources are being utilized, and where potential shortages might occur. The total capacity of hospitals (shown in brackets in the question's initial description, though not used in this specific calculation) is important for calculating occupancy rates and planning expansions or resource allocation.

Understanding disease-specific bed occupancy helps healthcare systems allocate resources effectively, prepare for outbreaks, and develop targeted prevention and treatment strategies. It is a key component of operational efficiency and public health management.
