In areas like Kansas City, where the delta variant has coronavirus cases shooting back up, hospitals are once again reaching capacity. That means elective or non-urgent procedures could again be put on hold as doctors scramble to find patients beds. kcur
Beds are full at the University of Kansas Health System, which has announced it will no longer accept transfer patients.
With no beds available, Stites said doctors are beginning to put patients into non-standard floors called"alternative care areas." “What we should be fearful of is that we won't be able to give care to those who need it — COVID, or not COVID, or cancer or heart attack or stroke, because we don't have enough beds in the city,” Stites said.
A TMC spokesperson said the center had 35 COVID patients at both its campuses on Thursday, or more than half the number of COVID patients in January, when COVID cases were beginning to peak. Hoeger said the hospital is “very full” but is still accepting transfer patients. While Truman is not a major referral hospital, he said it's likely to see more transfers if other large area hospitals continue to turn them down.Hoeger also works with hospitals across the region as co-chair of the Mid-America Regional Council's Health Care Coalition.
