The concluding score that hospitals in Israel received from patients is 83. The rate of hospitalization in the corridors of hospital wards is declining: in the current survey, 7% of patients interviewed were admitted to the corridor during all or part of the hospitalization, compared with 11% in 2016 and 9% in 2018.
Hospitalization in corridors is more common in inpatient wards (10%).
The rate of lying in the hallway is lower (4%) in small hospitals.
The Ministry of Health's service department noted that "even during the Corona period, most hospitals were able to maintain the improvement that was achieved and even achieve further improvement - it is certainly gratifying."
