Hospital Inpatient Days, 2003-04 to 2007-08
"Inpatient days" represents the total number of days that all patients spend in a hospital bed. The graphs presented here display the total number of inpatient days at the five UC medical centers by the type of insurance the patient has.
Statewide, UC's five medical centers accounted for 4 percent of inpatient days of low-income patients, i.e., those with Medi-Cal or without insurance.
Typically, low-income patients (i.e., those covered by Medi-Cal, under county health programs or uninsured) are cared for at county hospitals. The Davis, Irvine and San Diego medical centers are located in counties that have no county hospitals. Consequently, these three medical centers see many more low-income patients.
The Davis medical center accounts for about 26 percent of low-income patient days in Sacramento County, the Irvine medical center accounts for about 16 percent of low-income patient days in Orange County, and the San Diego medical center accounts for about 10 percent of low-income patient days in San Diego county.
Comparative data on the number of transfer students are not available nationally.
Source: UCOP Corporate Student System. This system contains data on all degree-seeking students Universitywide.
Data include all transfer students, including both upper-division and lower-division CCC transfer students, inter-campus transfers from other UC campuses, transfers from other California 4-year institutions and 2- and 4-year transfers from out-of-state. The overwhelming majority (87 percent) of transfer students are upper-division transfers from California community colleges.
