91891-2

LOINC code 91891-2 identifies "Facility Bed type". The type of beds available at a facility. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) terminology categorizes bed types based on the National Hospital Available Beds for Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) reporting system.[https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=484620] In this system, beds are categorized as follows: Adult Intensive Care Unit beds (beds that can support critically ill/injured patients, including ventilator support), adult medical/surgical beds (also thought of as Adult "Ward" beds), burn care beds or burn ICU beds (either approved by the American Burn Association or self-designated), pediatric ICU beds (for patients 17 years and younger), pediatric medical/surgical beds (for patients 17 and younger), psychiatric beds (beds on a closed/locked psychiatric unit or ward where a patient will be staffed by an attendant), airborne infection isolation beds (also called "negative pressure/isolation" with negative airflow and providing respiratory isolation), and operating room beds.

This code measures Bed type in Facility. It belongs to the ADMIN.FACILITY class in the LOINC classification.
