INPATIENT HEALTH FACILITIES

AS REPORTED FROM THE 1967 MFI SURVEY

Alvin Sirrocco, Division of Health Resouvces Statistics

INTRODUCTION

This report presents statistics from the 1967

Master Facility Inventory (MFI) Survey. For a

detailed account of the design and methodology of

this survey, see PHS Publication 1000, Series 1,

No. 9.1

Included in the 1967 survey were 19,141

nursing homes, 8,147 hospitals, and 3,005 other

types of inpatient health facilities. Nursing homes,

hospitals, and other facilities are discussed in

separate sections of this report. The nursing

home section contains a comparison of nursing

home data from the 1963 and 1967 MFI surveys

with data from other agencies obtained in other

years, The hospital section includes separate

data for short-stay and long-stay hospitals. The

section on other inpatient health facilities contains bed size and ownership data for these facilities.

Background

The National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS) maintains the Master Facility Inventory,

a comprehensive file of faciliti.e.s in the United

States that provide medical, nursing, personal,

or custodial care to groups of unrelated persons

on an “inpatient” (at least overnight) basis.

Every 2 years the Health Facilities Statistics

Branch of the Division of Health Resources Statistics, NCHS, conducts a survey of inpatient

health facilities in order to keep the file current.

This survey, called the Master Facility Inventory

Survey, covers all hospitals, nursing and related

care homes, and such custodial care facilities as

homes for the deaf, blind, physically handicapped,

mentally retarded, and emotionally disturbed, as

well as homes for unwed mothers, orphanages,

and homes for dependent children. The data collected include ownership, number of beds, number

of residents, number and kind of personnel, and,

in the case of nursing homes, the type of nursing

care provided. The hospital portion of the survey

also contains information on length of stay, admissions, and major type of service.

The names and addresses of new inpatient

health facilities are obtained through an updating

process known as the Agency Reporting System.

By contacting all State, national, and voluntary

agencies that license, regulate, or for other reasons maintain lists of health facilities, NCHS has

been able, through matching and unduplicating, to

obtain a list of virtually all inpatient health facilities in the United States.q These agencies constantly update the MFI files either by sending to

NCHS the names and addresses of new facilities

or by sending their latest directories, which are

then matched against the last one they sent in order

to identify all new facilities.

NURSING HOMES

Results From the 1967 MFI Survey

In 1967, 19,141 nursing homes were surveyed

in the MFI Survey. This was an increase of almost 2,500 over the 16,701 nursing homes in existence when the NCHS conducted its 1963 MFI

Survey.3 This constituted a 15-percent increase

in nursing homes, which was not nearlyas dramatic as the 47-percent increase in the number

of beds in these homes, from 568,560 beds in

1963 t0836,554in 1967.

In addition to obtaining a count of nursing

homes, the1967 MFI Survey was used to classify

them in four categories—nursing care homes,

(NC), personal care homes with nursing care

(PCWN), personal care homes without nursing

care (PC), and domiciliary care homes (DC).

Henceforth in this report personal care homes

without nursing care will be referred to simply

as personal care homes. The criteria used in

‘classifying nursing homes into these categories

are given in appendix H.

Of the 19,141 nursing homes inthis country,

10,636 were classified as nursing care homes,

3,853 as personal care homes with nursing care,

4,396 as personal care homes, and256asdomiciliary care homes (table 1).

Beds, ownership, Employees

As can be seen in tableA, both the nursing

care homes and the personal care homes with

nursing care were much larger in bed size than

the personal care and domiciliary care homes.

The nursing care homes averaged 55 beds per

home and the personal care homes with nursing

care, 47 beds per home, whereas the average

was 15 beds for the personal care homes and 18

for domiciliary care homes. Table 1 gives State

breakdowns for the four typesof homes and their

bed sizes.

Most nursing homes (78 percent) were runby

proprietary organizations. However, of the 329

homes with 200 or more beds, 172(52 percent)

were run by nonprofit organizations and 92 (28

percent) wererun by thegovernment (State,local,

or Federal). Table 2givesa complete breakdown

of the four types of nursing homes by bed size

and ownership.

There were 301,498 full-time employeesin

nursing care homes, 63,800 in personal care

homes with nursing care, and 16,361 impersonal

care homes. Table 3 gives the number of full18.3 18.8

Geographic Distribution

Figures 1 and 2 show how nursing homes in

general and nursing care homes in particular

were distributed by geographic region and division; figures 3 and 4 show the 1967 U.S. population distribution by geographic region and division. For a complete listing of the States that

comprise each region and division, see table I,

appendix I,

A comparison of figure 1 with figure 2 indicates a fairly large difference occurring in the

Pacific division. Figure 1 shows the Pacific division as having 18,8 percent of all the nursing

homes in the country, whereas figure 2 shows the

Pacific division as having 12.7 percent of all the

nursing care homes in the country. The reason for

this difference, was not a lack of nursing care

homes but a preponderance of personal care

homes, with the vast majority of these personal

care homes located in California.

A comparison of figure 4 with figure 3 shows

that of the nine geographic divisions, three (New

England, Middle Atlantic, and West North Central)

had higher percentages of persons 65 years and

over than did the total population.This relationship implies that these three divisions had higher

Using appendix I, calculations were made and the

population 65 years and over. At the other end,

the East South Central division had an average of

less than 28 beds for this same age group (table

B).

Distribution by State shows California with

2,973 nursing homes, the largest number in any

State (table 1). Almost half (1,471) of these homes

were personal care homes, having an average of

10 beds per home. In addition, California had 974

nursing care homes, but these homes tended to

be much larger than the personal care homes,

having an average of almost 55 beds.

Table C shows that Florida with 12.7 percent

had a higher percentage of persons 65 years and

over than any other State in 1967. (Alaska had the

lowest with a percentage of 2.2). Florida also had

the highest average number of beds per home of

all the States. Its average of 67.7 beds per home

was more than four times the average size of

Hawaii’s homes. (Hawaii had the smallest homes,

with an average 15.1 beds per home).

Table C also shows that Iowa had the highest

number of beds (81.4) per 1,000 population 65

years and over. West Virginia had the lowest

with +1.5 beds per 1,000 population 65 years and

over.

Comparison with Other Surveys

Table D shows how other nursing home

surveys in various years compare with the 1967

MFI Survey and a previous MFI Survey conducted

in 1963.

In addition to the different time periods, a

major reason for the varying statistics among

these surveys is that the definitions and criteria

for classifying homes varied from one survey to

another.

The 1954 survey conducted by the Public

Health Service and the Commission on Chronic

Illness 4 included as nursing homes such facilities as homes for the aged, boarding care

homes for the aged, county homes, children’s

convalescent homes, nursing homes for alcoholics, and homes for drug addicts, and the

mentally disturbed. Homes for the blind: deaf, and

mentally deficient were also counted if they met

the criteria of a home giving primarily “skilled

nursing care. ” Though all of these homes were

included in the MFI Surveys, many were not inTable B. Rate of nursing home beds per

eluded as nursing homes, and hence donotappear

in the statistics for nursing homes.

In 1961 a survey was conducted by the Division of Hospital and Medical Facilities in the

Public .Health Service5 whereby questionnaires

were sent to the State agencies responsible for

licensing nursing homes and related facilities.

For facilities not covered by licensure provisions,

the agencies were asked to obtain the information

from other sources if possible. Included in the

survey were nursing homes, nursing home units

of hospitals, convalescent homes for children,

nursing homes providing special services (for

instance, those serving the mentally disturbed),

boarding homes for the aged, and county homes.

In 1963 NCHS surveyed nursing homes from

listings supplied by State and national licensing

and regulatory agencies. The findings of this survey showed 16,701 nursing homes with 568,560

beds (table D). The facilities classified as nursing

homes in the 1963 survey are shown on the questionnaire in appendix IV.

The 1964 survey, published in ‘the A%vsing

Home Administmtov, 6 was a survey of Statelicensed nursing homes which offered nursing

cake. Thus it included nursing care homes and

personal care homes with nursing care. The

12,423 homes were somewhat less than the 13,086

homes found in the 1963 NCHS survey. This was

probably due to the differing definitions of nursing

care within each State.

as a nursing care home or personal care home with nursing care.

The 1965 survey,discussedin the ANHA/

News Report (March 1966),was “based on an

inquiry from the ANHA national office to all State

nursing home licensing agencies.” The figures

shown in table Dare for homes whichwere listed

as licensed nursinghomes, butbecause definitions

ofnursinghomes varyconsiderablyfrom Stateto

State,itis difficultto classifythehomes as to

type ofcare. Since all the homeslistedwere supposed to provide nursing services ,theyhavebeen

placed in the category ofnursing care homes and

personal care home s with nursing care.

HOSPITALS

The hospitals in the 1967 MFISurveywere

divided into two groups, short-stay andlong-stay.

A hospital which reported that its discharged patients had an average stayoflessthan30 days per

episode during the year was considered a shortstay hospital. One which reported that its discharged patients had an average stay of30 days

or more per episode was ccmsidereda long-stay

hospital.

Most hospitals were general hospitals and

most of these generalhos~itals were short-stav.

.
Of the 8,147 hospitals in the country, 6,685 (82

percent) were general hospitals and of these,

6,508 (97 percent) were short-stay. Table E

shows the different types of hospitals separated

by length of stay.

Beds and Ownership

Short-stay hospitals were not nearly as large

in bed size as long-stay hospitals. The average

size of the 6,839 short-stay hospitals was 132

beds, whereas the average size of the 1,308 longstay hospitals was 558 beds. There were 236 longstay hospitals with over 1,000 beds as compared

to only 41 short-stay hospitals in this same bed

size range (table F).

In terms of ownership, about one-half of the

8,147 hospitals were owned by nonprofit organizations, one-third were government owned, and

one-sixth were privately owned. Nonprofit organizations owned most of the large (100 or more

beds) general hospitals and the government owned

most of the large specialty hospitals (table G).

Table 4 gives a detailed description of hospitals

by ownership and bed size.

Employees

There were about 230 full-time employees

per short-stay hospital and 330 full-time employees per long-stay hospital (tables 5-8). But

because the long-stay hospitals had much larger

bed capacities, there was a much lower ratio of

full-time employees to patients in long-stay hospitals than in short-stay hospitals (649 full-time

employees per 1,000 patients in long-stay hospitals and 2,340 full-time employees for every

1,000 patients in short-stay hospitals).

The psychiatric hospitals were largely responsible for this low employee to patient ratio

in long-stay hospitals. Without the 250,000 fuHtime employees and the 500,000 patients in longTable F. Number of hospitals by type of hospital and bed size: United States, 1967

stay psychiatrichospitals,long-stayhospitals

would also have had more employees than patients (although still not nearly as high a ratio

as the short-stay hospitals had).

Comparing the number of doctors (both fulland part-time physicians and dentists) in table

H with that of their respective patients, one

finds that in short-stay hospitals the ratio of

patients to doctors was 8 to 1 and in long-stay

hospitals the ratio was 29 to 1. This difference

was also seen between short and long-stay psychiatric hospitals. The patient to doctor ratio in

short-stay psychiatric hospitals was 12to 1, but

in long-stay psychiatric hospitals itwas45 to 1.

This difference was to some extent due to

the overcrowding in long-stay hospitals, but another factor was also present, as indicated bythe

difference between the total admissions in tables

7and8. Theadmis sions covereda l-yearperiod,

so in the course of that year a doctor ina shortstay hospital had an average of almost 350new

patients (admissions), while a doctor in alongstay hospital had an average of 50 new patients.

By definition patients remain in long-stay hospitals for an average of 30 days or more.So

although a long-stay doctor may see more patients during the day than his counterpart in the

short-stay hospitals, he is seeing the same patients day after day, whereas his counterparts

experiencing much greater turnover inpatients.

Hence a patient in a long-stay hospital

under a treatment program that may last for

months probably does not require as much time

per day from a doctor as the short-stay patient

(whose condition is usually of an acute nature).

For a further breakdown of admissions, see

tables 9 and 10, which distribute the admissions

by service and State.

Geographic Distribution

The distribution of general hospital beds per

1,000 population by region shows the rates are

very similar for all four regions with the highest

being 5.0 in the North Central and the lowest being

4.6 in the West, The Northeast had a rate of 4,9

and the South 4.7.

There was an average of 4.6 beds per 1,000

population for short- stay hospitals and 3.7 beds

per 1,000 population for long-stay hospitals in

1967 (table 11).

The States in the Northeast Region tended to

be above the national average for both types of

hospitals, with seven of the nine States being equal

to or higher than the national average for shortstay hospitals and all nine States being greater

than the national average for long- stay hospitals.

Most of the States in the South and West Regions

had bed to population rates below the national

avera~es. In fact, Wyoming was the only State in

the West Region that was above the national average for long- stay hospitals.

For short- stay hospitals, Hawaii had the lowest bed to population ratio (2.8 per 1,000 population) and the District of Columbia had the highest

(6.9 per 1,000 population). For the long-stay hospitals, “Idaho had the lowest ratio (1.3 per 1,000

population) and again the District of Columbia had

the highest (12.4 per 1,00Qpopulation). For further

information, see tables 12 and 13, which give the

number of short-stay and long-stay hospitaI beds

in each State, by major type of service.

OTHER INPATIENT HEALTH

FACILITIES

In 1967 there were 3,005 inpatient health

facilities in the country other than hospitals or

nursing homes. These included homes for the

deaf, blind, unwed mothers, physically handicapped, emoti~nally disturbed, and mentally retarded, as well as orphanages, dependent children’s homes, and the like.

Northeast North Central South west

Figure 5. Percentage distribution of facilities for the mentally

retarded and emotionally disturbed by region, 1967.

Due to problems of classification, all facilities for the mentaIly retarded or emotionally

disturbed (which include hospitaIs, homes, and

resident schools) were grouped together and

placed in this other inpatient health facilities

category. Table 14 gives these facilities by State.

There were 1,193 facilities for the mentally

retarded and the emotionally disturbed in 1967,

which represented 40 percent of the “other” facilities. California had far more of these facilities than any other State. Its 278 facilities represented 23 percent of all facilities for the

mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed in the

United States. Pennsylvania, with 82 such facilities (7 percent), was a distant second to

California.

On a regional basis, the South, with the largest segment of the population, had the fewest

homes for the mentally retarded and emotionally

disturbed (158) (figure 5).

Table 15 gives the number of residents in

other inpatient health facilities by State. Homes

9
for the mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed had the highest average number of residents per home (179). Homes for the deaf or

blind were next with an average of 171 residents

per home. California had 15,643 residents in its

278 homes for the mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed. That was an average of 56 residents per home. As the average for all States excluding California was 216 residents per home,

California~s homes were smaller than those in

other States.

Table 16 gives the ownership by number of

resident occupants for these various “other”

health facilities. Although the government (Federal, State, and local) operated 60 percent of the

homes for the deaf or blind, it owned only 20

percent of the orphanages, homes for dependent

children, homes for the mentally retarded, and

homes for the emotionally disturbed. Of the 181

homes for unwed mothers, 175 were owned by

nonprofit organizations.

DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURES

Criteria for Classifying Nursing, Personal, or

Domiciliary Care Homes

The criteria for classifying these types of institutions are based on several factors: (1) the number of persons receiving nursing care during the week

prior to the day of the survey (nursing care is defined in “Definitions of Other Terms”), (2) administration of medications and treatments in accordance

with physician’s orders, (3) supervision over medications which may be self-administered, (4) the routine

provision of the following criterion personal services:

rub and massage, help with tub bath or shower, help

with dressing, correspondence, shopping, walking or

getting about, and help with eating, and (5) employment

of registered professional or licensed practical nurses.

On the basis of these factors, four types of establishments were distinguished and are defined as follows:

Nursing cave home. —An establishment is a nursing

care home if nursing care is the primary and predominant function of the facility. Those meeting the

following criteria are classified as nursing care homes

in this report: One or more registered nurses or

licensed practical nurses were employed, and 50 percent or more of the residents received nursing care

during the week prior to the survey.

Pes%ortal care home with nursing. -An establishment is a personal care home with nursing if personal

care is the primary and predominant function of the

facility but some nursing care is also provided. If an

establishment met either of the following criteria it

was classified as a personal care home with nursing:

1. Some but less than 50 percent of the residents

received nursing care during the week prior to

the survey and there was one or more registered

professional or licensed practical nurses on

the staff.

2. Some of the residents received nursing care

during the week prior to the survey, no registered nurses or licensed practical nurses

were on the staff, but one or more of the following conditions were met:

A. Medications and treatments were administered in accordance with physicians!

orders.

B. Supervision over self-administered medications was provided.

C. Three or more personal services were

routinely provided.

Personal cave home. —An establishment is a personal care home if the primary and predominant

function of the facility is personal care, and no residents received nursing care during the week prior to

the survey. Places in which one or more of the following criteria were met are classified as personal care

homes in this report whether or not they employed

registered nurses or licensed practical nurses.

1. Medications and treatments were administered

in accordance with physicians orders, or

supervision over medication which may be

self-administered was provided.

2. Three or more of the criterion personal services were rotitinely provided.

Domiciliary care home.—A facility is a domiciliary

care home if the primary and predominant function of

the facility is domiciliary care but has a responsibility

for providing some personal care. If the criteria for a

nursing care home or personal care home are not met

but one or two of the criterion personal services are

routinely provided, the establishment is classified as a

domiciliary care home in this report.

In the classification process, a criterion was considered as not having been met if the necessary information for that criterion was unknown. For instance, if

the type of nursing staff was unknown for a particular

place, it was considered as not having met the criteria

of having one or more registered nurses or licensed

practical nurses on the staff. Establishments indicating

that some nursing care was provided, but not the number of persons to whom this care was provided, were

considered as institutions providing nursing care to

some but less than 50 percent of their patients or residents. Table I shows in detail the classification of the

establishments.

Reporting unit.- The term “reporting unit” refers

to the individual units which make up the Master Facility Inventory. The primary objective is to be able

to classify places in MFI for any type of hospital

or institutional survey that might be undertaken. To

accomplish this objective a reporting unit is defined

as the smallest organizational unit of an enterprise

which provides services to persons whether on a

profit or nonprofit basis, which has a separately assigned staff or work force, and which maintains

separate books or administrative records. The reporting unit is usually at a single physical location but

may be composed of several subunits at different locations. In some instances the service provided in a reporting unit will be mixed, as, for example, in large

psychiatric hospitals, which often have special wards

for geriatric and tuberculosis patients as well as a

general medical and surgical facility for the treatment of patients within the institution. Here, however,

as with all other types of units in the Master Facility

Inventory, the primary consideration for classification

is the predominant type of service provided if the reporting unit is composed of persons receiving several

types of services.

classified in the Master Facility Inventory in accordance

with the average length of stay of patients discharged

during the calendar year prior to the survey. Ashortsfuy hospital is one with an average stay of less than 30

days. A lon,g-stay hospital is one with an average

length of stay of 30 or more days.

Bed.— For hospitals, a bed is defined as one which

is regularly maintained (set up and staffed for use).

Those used exclusively for emergency services and

bassinets for newborn infants are not considered to be

beds for the purpose of the Master Facility Inventory.

A bed in a nursing home or related facility is defined as one ,set up and regularly maintained for patients or residents. This excludes many beds maintained for staff and those used exclusively for emergency services.

Resident OY inmate.– For the purpose of the

Master Facility Inventory a “resident” or “inmate”

is defined as a person formally admitted to or confined in an institution and who slept in the establishment “last night, ” i.e., the night prior to the day that

the nature-of-business questionnaire was completed

for the establishment.

Employee.—An employee is defined as a person

paid by the establishment or a working member of a

38
religious order who usually works 15 or more hours a

week in the establishment. An owner is an employee

if he usually works in the establishment at least 15

hours a week.

Full time OY part time. —Persons who usuaUy

worked 35 hours or more per week are designated

“full time” in this report. Persons who usually worked

15-34 hours per week are designated “part time. ”

NuYsing cave. -- For the purpose of classifying

homes on the Master Facility Inventory which provide

nursing care to residents, nursing care is defined as

the provision of one or more of the following services:

Nasal feeding

Catheterization

Irrigation

Oxygen therapy

Full bed bath

Enema

Hypodermic injection

Intravenous injection

Temperature-pulse- respiration

Blood pressure

Application of dressings or bandages

Bowel and bladder retraining

Pvoprietwy home.—A home operated under private commercial ownership.

Nonprofit home.-A home operated under voluntary

or nonprofit auspices, including both church-related and

nonchurch-related institutions.

Government (operated) home.–A home operated

under Federal, State, or local Government auspices.

APPENDIX Ill

RELIABILiTY OF THE DATA

Extensive effort has been devoted to making the

MFI as complete and comprehensive as possible. A

critical review of this effort, however, coupled with

the fact that new facilities are coming into existence

every month, indicates that the MFI is not entirely

complete. It obviously is necessary to discover the

magnitude of the missing component in order that

NCHS and consumers of data from the MFI can be

aware of the scale of the omissions.

The device being used to discover the magnitude

of undercoverage of the MFI is called the “Complement

Survey. It is an application of a general technique

often called “multiframe survey.” In this application

there are two frames: (1) the Master Facility Inventory

and (2) an area sample list. From a probability area

sample, all institutions found in the sample areas are

identified and the probability with which each comes

into the sample is determined. This area sample would

permit making an estimate of the total number of institutions, but the estimate would have high variance

if the number of places located in the area sample

represented only a very small proportion of total places

in the universe. If, however, the sample places are

further stratified by whether or not they are included

on the Master Facility Inventory, which hopefully includes 90 percent or more of all places, the area

sample can be used to estimate the number of places

in that subuniverse or stratum not included on the

Master Facility Inventory.

It has been thought that circumstances do not

justify the cost of an independent area survey for this

purpose alone. The conclusion rests on three facts.

First is the belief that tie MFI covered a high proportion of all places in the universe. Second, a sufficiently large independent area survey would be quite

expensive. Third, there exists an alternative vehicle,

not ideal for the purpose but perhaps adequate.

The alternative vehicle takes advantage of the

design of the Health Interview Survey which, with

suitable adjustments for periods of operation, provides an area sample of institutions as a byproduct

of 13 years of continuous field interviewing.~ This

sample was matched with the MFI and nonmatches

were queried to collect accurate and current information on the type of business and period of operation.

This process yielded an estimate of MFI gross undercoverage. The estimate is considered conceptually

sound but has been termed “not ideal” because of its

large sampling error and possible measurement error

arising from imperfect field identif icat ion of institut ions.

The direct evidence of the Complement Survey is

that for a reference date of August 1967 the MFI gross

undercoverage is of the order of 8 percent in terms of

places.

The most complete coverage was for hospitals

(approximately 97 percent). For “other” types of

health facilities, coverage was about 94 percent, and

for nursing and related care facilities the coverage

was estimated to be about 89 percent.
