The total population registered in the Community of Madrid in 2021 was 6,751,251. Additional data on the population of the Community of Madrid can be obtained from the National Institute of Statistics of Spain. Of this population, 536,448 are assigned to La Paz University Hospital. In Spain, the population is allocated to a designated health area that encompasses a designated referral hospital, determined by the administration based on the physical proximity of the population’s residence. Consequently, individuals residing within a particular health area typically receive care at the corresponding referral hospital. However, patients residing outside their assigned health area or from other regions of Spain may seek treatment at a non-corresponding hospital if they are traveling through, but this is uncommon. Regardless, all treated patients have their corresponding health area recorded in their administrative data within the electronic medical record.
