Talk about it
As a healthcare worker you probably know a lot about your hospital, but what do you know about hospitals in the US in general?
Have a quick look at the following questions and very quickly guess the answers. (Don’t worry about whether you get it right or not. Just guess.)
- About how many hospitals are there in the US?
- How many days on average do people stay in the hospital?
- How many beds are in the average hospital in the US?
- What do you think the average cost of a hospital stay is?
- What percentage of all bankruptcies are related to medical expenses?
- Where is the world’s largest hospital?
- In the US, do more young, middle-aged, or old people get hospitalized?
- Do more women or more men get hospitalized?
