March 27 DHHS Hospital Bed Count Request

Here’s what we asked for on March 27, 2020:

Please provide all documents used to generate the NC Hospital Bed Count* chart on the NCDHHS web site at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/covid-19-case-count-nc as of March 27, 2020, at 2:00 pm EST.

If you are willing to answer these questions, we can avoid the records request.

1. List of hospitals who supplied data (you say 81% so you must have a list of hospitals)?

2. What is the total number of beds that exist, not just the ones that are currently capable of being staffed?
