(a) Excludes eight facilities in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 that were not consolidated (accounted for using the
equity method) for financial reporting purposes.
(b) Excludes one facility in 2011, nine facilities in 2010 and 2007 and eight facilities in 2009 and 2008 that
were not consolidated (accounted for using the equity method) for financial reporting purposes.
(c) Licensed beds are those beds for which a facility has been granted approval to operate from the applicable
state licensing agency.
(d) Represents the average number of licensed beds, weighted based on periods owned.
(e) Represents the total number of patients admitted to our hospitals and is used by management and certain
investors as a general measure of inpatient volume.
(f) Equivalent admissions are used by management and certain investors as a general measure of combined
inpatient and outpatient volume. Equivalent admissions are computed by multiplying admissions (inpatient
volume) by the sum of gross inpatient revenue and gross outpatient revenue and then dividing the resulting
amount by gross inpatient revenue. The equivalent admissions computation “equates” outpatient revenue to
the volume measure (admissions) used to measure inpatient volume, resulting in a general measure of
combined inpatient and outpatient volume.
(g) Represents the average number of days admitted patients stay in our hospitals.
(h) Represents the average number of patients in our hospital beds each day.
(i) Represents the percentage of hospital licensed beds occupied by patients. Both average daily census and
occupancy rate provide measures of the utilization of inpatient rooms.
(j) Represents the number of patients treated in our emergency rooms.
(k) Represents the number of surgeries performed on patients who were not admitted to our hospitals. Pain
management and endoscopy procedures are not included in outpatient surgeries.
(l) Represents the number of surgeries performed on patients who have been admitted to our hospitals. Pain
management and endoscopy procedures are not included in inpatient surgeries.
