Hospital beds stacked bar graph

This stacked bar graph gives an aggregate view of Lakeside Hospital bed capacity by ward. The full bar shows the beds represented in each ward, and the segments distinguish occupied from available beds. It can help operations teams compare capacity at a glance, but it is not a clinical decision tool. Availability changes quickly and depends on staffing, isolation requirements, acuity and discharge timing. Use current operational systems for patient placement and pair the chart with timestamps and clear definitions of what counts as an available bed. Avoid publishing granular data that could affect patient privacy. It gives teams a concrete starting point for reviewing assumptions, data quality and next steps together.
