I previously wrote a thread going over the main results & implications of this work - head over there & read the paper for more details, here I will only cover a couple of key summary points

Most models predicting hosp. bed occupancy assume that patients receive care in only one bed type (eg general or critical), for an average length of stay

We suggest that this assumption + relying on national-level data is not appropriate for local bed occupancy predictions
