Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Hospital bed
Bed that is regularly attended to by medical and nursing staff, located in an area of a hospital centre and that offers ongoing care to the admitted patients. Includes incubators and only operative beds. Excluded from this category are beds for births, for healthy neonates, for anaesthesia and reanimation, for unit observation or casualty services, for external consultancy and for people accompanying patients. They can be classified as two different types: care of acute patients and socio-sanitary care.

Methodological aspects

Statistics on Healthcare Establishments with Internment Schemes (EESRI) was introduced by the Spanish Government's Presidential Order on 18th May 1973 in order to collect information on the structure, facilities and activity of hospital centres. It is a part of both the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Spanish Government's official statistics; for this reason, all centres operating in Spain are obliged to comply. From 1980 onwards, it is the Catalan Ministry of Health's responsibility to collect, confirm and analyse the data from authorised centres in Catalonia.
