Appendix B
Profile Summary of Acute Care Hospitals
The following contains a snapshot summary of each of Connecticut's acute care hospitals. The information and calculations were compiled from a variety of hospital data sources. Below is a description and data source for each summary component.
Graph
• The graph contains three years of hospital operating margins as reported by the Office of Healthcare Access (OHCA).
• The location and primary service area were listed in OHCA's 2004 annual report on the financial status of acute care hospitals.
Top Table
• The number of discharges, average length of stay (ALOS), and per diem payments for each program population group were determined with FY 05 data from each hospital's reporting schedule forms 200 and UCT, filed with OHCA.
• The FY 05 payment to cost ratios were provided to program review staff by OHCA. (The Medicaid payment to cost ratio includes Medicaid Managed Care, Medicaid Fee-for-Service, and SAGA.)
• Per diem and payment to cost ratio for the uninsured population is not available.
Middle Table
• The total number of emergency room visits, full-time equivalents (FTEs), and staffed beds with corresponding occupancy rates were compiled using data from OHCA schedule 500.
Bottom Table
• Net revenue refers to net revenue as defined by OHCA after reconciliation from each hospital's audited financial statements which is reported on schedule UCT.
• The cost of uncompensated care (UC) as a percentage of total operating expense was calculated from OHCA schedule UCT and S10, and reflects just uncompensated care and not the cost of medical assistance underpayments.
• The total disproportionate share (DSH) payments each hospital received for FYs 04 and 05 were obtained from the Department of Social Services.
