2. Five hospitals in Pennsylvania of a similar size
Chosen for having bed counts close to this hospital’s, and listed by name. Not the state’s largest hospitals: a comparison only means something between hospitals of roughly the same size. Each figure is that hospital’s own filing; the reporting periods differ and each is shown.

3. Where this hospital sits
A position, not a score: the hospitals are counted, not ranked. Each line names the hospitals the position was taken over.

4. Executive compensation and community benefit
Not in this report. Executive pay is filed on IRS Form 990 Part VII and community benefit on its Schedule H, under an employer identification number. The Medicare cost report does not carry that number, so nothing on the two documents names the same organization.
Every cost report on file
One row per filing, oldest first until you say otherwise. Every column orders both ways. 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 390072. A reader holding the same public file can go to that cell.
Two forms are in use. CMS-2552-96 covers reports for 1996 through 2011 and CMS-2552-10 the ones since. The older form has no worksheet S-10, so on those years charity care, bad debt, uncompensated care and the cost-to-charge ratio have no cell to come from and no figure appears.
A figure the hospital’s filing does not carry is left out. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is carried in from another year. No percentage or ratio is calculated anywhere in this report: charity care and revenue sit in adjacent rows and the reader draws the relation.
