Supplementary notes

* Severity is approximated by the case mix index (CMI), which is a statistical measure of the average amount of resources consumed per Medicare inpatient case at a hospital. Hospitals that tend to treat more resource-intensive (i.e., severe) cases will have a higher calculated CMI.
FTE = full-time equivalent.
A census bed is licensed, physically available, staffed, and occupied by a patient at the time of reporting. Figures differ from previous editions due to increased availability of staffed bed counts.
