2. This hospital and five hospitals of the same type (short-term acute care hospital), for fiscal year 1998

Chosen by hospital type first, then from Alabama in the same bed band, then the state at any size, then other states, each by the bed count nearest this hospital’s, and listed by name. A comparison only means something between hospitals of the same kind and roughly the same size, across the same fiscal year. Each figure is that hospital’s own filing; the day each fiscal year ends differs and is shown.

3. Where this hospital sits

A position, not a grade. Each line names the figure, how it is measured, and the hospitals it is placed among: short-term acute care hospitals in the same state and the same bed-size band, each on its latest filed year. Under it, the same figure across every hospital that filed for the year — a larger set, and a different one.

Every cost report on file

One row per filing, oldest first until you say otherwise. Every column orders both ways. One row per filing, oldest first. Reporting periods differ between filings and the length of each is shown, because revenue over three months set beside revenue over twelve is a wrong number that looks right.

How to read this report

Every figure above is printed as its source document printed it, with the exact place it came from beside it: the worksheet, line and column of the Medicare cost report this hospital filed under CMS certification number 010127. A reader holding the same public file can go to that cell.

Where this hospital is on the 340B covered-entity register, the registration facts come from the HRSA 340B OPAIS Covered Entity Daily Report. The two documents name the same hospital because they carry the same certification number, not because their names resemble each other.

A figure the hospital’s filing does not carry is left out. A figure whose value the filing’s own arithmetic contradicts is also left out. A year filed as submitted whose figures differ from the prior filing by more than the factor stated on the methodology page is marked beside the figure and left out of the distributions and the peer table until a settled version posts. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is carried in from another year.

Every dollar figure, ratio and date is copied from the filing that printed it, and every count is a count of the rows those filings hold. Three shares are divided, each by net patient revenue from the same filing: charity care, uncompensated care and income from service to patients. Positions and distributions — a hospital’s percentile, a median, a middle half, a tenth-to-ninetieth range — are counted over a set of hospitals that each one names. One year is set against another: an as-submitted year’s net patient revenue against the same hospital’s prior filed year, printed as a factor where it is more than 2. Nothing else is calculated. This report carries no share; its positions are in section 3, each naming the hospitals it was taken over.
