The graph depicts the average stay of patience from serious injuries last year, both for public and private hospitals in Queensland, Australia. Overall, it’s evident from the graph that most patients with serious injuries stays longer in public hospitals compared to the private ones.
From the graph it can be easily seen that the gap of duration of stays between private and public hospitals are mostly large from patients of all ages. But patients under the age of 15 prefers public hospitals the most, as no data can be found for private hospitals.
The highest peak of the both lines are for the age group 25-29, where in public hospitals, patients stayed for almost 60 days, whereas in private hospitals patients stayed for around 30-40 days. The longest number of stay for public hospitals is for the age group 0-4 years. In contrast, the age group of 15-19 stayed the lowest amount of days in the private hospitals. The largest gap in the days of stay between public and private hospitals is around 40 days, and it’s for the age group 40-44 years. Public hospitals kept the patients for almost 60 days for that age group, whereas in private hospitals they only needed to stay for 20 days. The two lines touched each other for the age group of 85+, meaning for this age group in both types of hospitals the patients have to stays the same amount of time.
