The line graph presents the weekly admissions across five hospitals – Fortsmith, AdLin, Stanton, Bardley, and Oxley – over a span from 2004 to 2018.
Overall, the graph reveals distinct trends and variations in hospital admissions, with notable fluctuations in the numbers for each hospital throughout the 14-year period.
Commencing with Fortsmith, the hospital exhibited a fluctuation in admissions, varying between 200 and 250 patients. It recorded a peak of 250 patients between 2012 and 2014, before tapering off to approximately 200 patients by 2018. In contrast, AdLin began with a lower admission rate, dropping to around 150 patients in 2008, yet demonstrated a steady recovery, stabilizing between 160 and 180 patients by 2018. Stanton commenced at 100 admissions and displayed a consistent upward trajectory, ultimately exceeding 200 patients in 2018. Bardley, however, experienced a significant decline from 150 patients in 2004, ultimately plateauing at approximately 50 admissions by the end of the period.
Oxley’s admissions commenced at over 100 patients, but exhibited a gradual decline, ending at 100 patients by 2018. This hospital, while initially demonstrating a robust admission count, reflected a clear downward trend over the years. Despite this decline, it maintained a relatively higher admission rate compared to Bardley. The data illustrates that while Fortsmith and Stanton showed resilience and growth in their patient numbers, Bardley faced a continuous decrease. Furthermore, AdLin’s ability to stabilize and improve its admission figures contrasts sharply with Oxley, highlighting varied operational outcomes across these healthcare institutions over the analyzed period.
