Hospital patients generally have lower infection rates and require shorter hospital stays if they are housed in private rooms rather than semiprivate rooms. ███ ██ ███████████ █████████ █████ ███ ████ ███████████ ██████ █████████ █████ ███ ██████ ██ █████ ███ █████████ ███ ████ ██ ██ ███████ ██████ █████████ █████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ████████ ████ ██████ ████████ ██████ ██ █████ █████████ ███ ████ ███████ ██ █████ ██████ ██ ███████████ █████████
"Surprising" Phenomenon
Patients in Woodville’s semiprivate-rooms-only hospital experience the same infection rates and lengths of stay as patients at nearby hospitals where most of the rooms are private, even though hospital patients tend to have lower infection rates and require shorter hospital stays when they are housed in private rooms.
Objective
The right answer will describe some factor that does one or more of the following: improves infection rates and lengths of stay at Woodville, worsens these metrics at the nearby hospitals with mostly private rooms, or shows why Woodville’s semiprivate rooms do not impact the metrics in question the way other hospitals’ semiprivate rooms do. This factor will serve to counteract the effects of the different room privacies to yield the same infection rates and lengths of stay across the hospitals.
