German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Austrian Health Care

In an article about Austrian health care, I came across this:

"Sein Gesundheitssystem ist im internationalen Vergleich zu bettenlastig und sektoral stark zersplittert."

Does this mean "bed-heavy" in the sense of too many people staying in hospitals (as opposed to...), staying there too long, etc.? The surrounding sentences claim that society is aging, cities are growing, one-person households are growing, and Austrian health care must adapt to these changes. But it's not clear to me exactly what is meant by this term. A Google search turned up one article that seemed to corroborate the hunch that it means "our hospitals are crowded".

Thanks for any help.
