INPATIENT HEALTH FACILITIES

AS REPORTED FROM THE 1973 MFI SURVEY

Alvin Sirrocco, Division of Health Manpower and Facilities Statistics

INTRODUCTION

This report reflects the findings from the

1973 Master Facility Inventory (MFI) Survey. The

●

survey is the fifth of its kind; the first survey was

conducted in 1963,1 the second in 1967,2 the third,

in 1969,3 and the fourth in 1971.4 In addition to statistics from the 1973 survey, this report includes

comparisons with the findings from 1967, 1969,

and 1971 surveys.

Included in the 1973 MFI Survey were 21,834

nursing homes, 7,438 hospitals, 1,348 facilities

for the mentally retarded, 917 homes for dependent

children, 1,282 homes or resident schools for the

emotionally disturbed, 144 homes for unwed mothers, 809 resident facilities for alcoholics or drug

abusers, 167 resident facilities for the deaf and/

or blind, 65 resident facilities for the physically

handicapped, and 104 other types of health-related

inpatient facilities. This latter group included

multipurpose types of facilities such as homes for

the blind and mentally retarded or homes for the

physically handicapped and emotionally disturbed.

For purposes of the MFI, nursing homes are

defined as establishments with three beds or more

which provide nursing or personal care to the

aged, infirm, or chronically ill. Hospitals include

all establishments having six beds or more that

are licensed as hospitals.

Background

In 1963 the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) conducted its first national survey of

all health facilities and institutions. The survey

was called the Master Facility Inventory Survey.

Information obtained from the 1963 survey was

very basic; the survey collected data such as type

of facility, number of beds, and type of ownership.

These data were used primarily for classifying

the various establishments. In addition to supplying basic information on health facilities, the resulting list of facilities (with the corresponding

classification information) was used as the sampling frame for the more detailed surveys conducted on the institutionalized population within

these facilities. The response rate for this first

MFI survey was 93 percent.

The second MFI survey was conducted by the

Bureau of the Census from August through December 1967? Between the 1963 and 1967 surveys, the

Agency Reporting System was devised for obtaining the names and addresses of all new hospitals,

nursing homes, and other health facilities in the

countrya5

The basic information of the 1967 survey provided valuable information to other government

agencies as well as to private organizations and

individuals. The response rate for this survey was

94 percent.

With this in mind, the 1969 MFI questionnaires

(one for nursing homes and one for facilities other

than hospitals) were expanded to include more detailed information about each facility, making it

possible for NCHS to provide even more information. In spite of the extra questions, the 1969 survey had a response rate of 96 percent.

For the 1971 MFI Survey, NCHS put the nurs -

ing

on

home and “other health facilities”

one questionnaire. This portion of

questions

the MFI,

1
still conducted by the Bureau of the Census, produced a response rate of 97 percent.

While this was taking place with the nursing

homes and’’other health facilities,’’ the hospital

portion of the MFI was undergoing substantial

changes. In order to avoid the duplication of effort

involved in having hospital administrators fill out

two similar questionnaires, NCHS and the American Hospital Association (AHA) entered into a

contractual arrangement prior to the 1969 MFI

Survey in which the AHA’s annual survey of hospitals became the instrument for updating information for the hospital portion of the MFI. However, since not all hospitals are registered or

members of AHA, it was necessary for NCHS to

conduct a separate survey on the non-AHA hospitals, which make up about 5 percent of all the hospitals in the country. The hospital portion of the

MFI survey is, therefore, conducted every year in

conjunction with the annual AHAhospital survey. A

large amount of new information on hospitals is

now available because of this arrangement with the

AHA. The hospi~al portion of the 1971 MFI produced a response rate of 93 percent.

In addition to the hospital statistics of NCHS

containing non-AHA hospital data, there is one

other difference between the hospital data of AHA

and NCHS. The difference is in the area of mental

retardation hospitals. Since NCHSsurveys mental

retardation facilities as part of the “other health

facilities” section of the MFI, mental retardation

hospitals, though surveyed as hospitals by AHA,

are surveyed as “other health facilities” by NCHS.

There were 176 mental retardation hospitals surveyed by AHA in 1973.

NURSING HOMES

History

Many different names are used to describe a

nursing home facility, Among the most common

names other than nursing home are homes for the

aged, convalescent homes, and rest homes. Since

the name by which a nursing home is called has

virtually nothing to do with the type and amount of

nursing care it provides, classifying nursing

homes by the type of service they provide becomes essential.

Since the inception of the MFI, the National

Center for Health Statistics has grouped nursing

homes according to the primary type of service

offered in the home. This resulted in the classifying of nursing homes as nursing care homes,

personal care homes with nursing, personal care

homes, and domiciliary care homes. (See appendix

II for definitions.)

The criteria given in appendix II were developed by NCHSin order to classify each nursing

home into one of these four categories. Essentially, the classification is based on the number of

persons receiving nursing care, the services

provided, and the employment of full-time registered nurses and licensed practical nurses.

Table I in appendix II gives the criteria for classifying all nursing homes. Because this classification scheme was developed prior to Medicare

and Medicaid legislation, it does not correspond

exactly to the definitions for Medicare extended

care facilities or for Medicaid skilled nursing ‘

homes or intermediate care facilities.

Many of the nursing homes that were personal

care and domiciliary care homes in 1971 have

added services and nurses since then; this resulted

in a sizable increase in nursing care homes and

personal care with nursing homes in 1973. This

shift in classification eliminated so many personal

care and domiciliary care homes that, for the purposes of this report, only two groupings will be

used—nursing care homes and personal care and

other homes. This second group combines the personal care with nursing, personal care, and domiciliary care homes that were reported separately

in the past.

In order to keep the MFI list of health facilities current, the Agency Reporting System (ARS)

was developed. This system obtains on an annual

or more frequent basis the names and addresses

of all newly opened health facilities. The ARS

consists of national voluntary organizations and

Federal and State agencies including health, welfare, and voluntary religious organizations; publishers of commercial directories; State agencies

that administer, regulate, license, certify, approve, list, or are otherwise concerned with medical and resident care facilities; and Federal

agencies that administer inpatient facilities.

Upon obtaining these lists, the facilities are

matched against the current MFI list to eliminate

2
duplicates. Those facilities which are not on the

MFI list and appear to be inpatient health facilities are placed on the mailing list for the next

ARS or “birth” survey? which occurs every 6

months. These ARS surveys verify the names and

addresses of the newly found facilities and obtain

from them a limited amount of additional information.

Prior to the 1971 MFI Survey, NCHSarranged

with a private company to maintain the ARS. In

addition to obtaining current directories from the

agencies already in the system, the contract calls

for locating any new agencies which maintain lists

of health facilities and incorporating them into

the system. They are also responsible for the

“birth” surveys mentioned above.

Number, Size, and Ownership

Ac the time of the 1973 MFI Survey there were

21,834 nursing homes in the United States. These

21,834 nursing homes contained 1,327,704 beds,

an average of 61 beds per home. This average

bed capacity represented an increase over the

1971 average and continued the trend of increasing bed capacities since the 1967 MFI found the

average to be 44 beds per home (table A).

Table B shows the change in bed capacities

in nursing homes between 1971 and 1973. There

was a decrease of more than 1,100 homes for

homes with under 50 beds and an increase of almost 950 for those with 50 or more beds. As

found in previous MFI reports, the small nursing

homes (less than 25 beds) continued to either expand or go out of business. Thus the number of

homes has ~ended to fluctuate from one MFI surTable A. Number of nursing homes, nursing

change from the ownership distributions of the

three previous MFI surveys. The proprietary

homes tended to be much smaller than the homes

in the other two ownership categories. In fact the

government homes, with an average of 104 beds,

were nearly twice as large as the proprietary

homes with a 53-bed average. The nonprofit

homes, with an average of 78 beds, were 50 percent larger than the proprietary homes.

Employees and Residents

More than 635,000 full-time employees

worked in nursing homes in 1973 (table 1), an increase of about 68,000 (12 percent) over the 1971

figure. In addition, there were over 237,000 parttime employees (table 2), about 36,000 more than

in 1971. Converting these to full-time equivalent

employees (FTE), in 1973 nursing homes had approximately 760,000 full-time employees, whereas in 1971 they had approximately 668,000. The

average number of FTE employees per nursing

home rose from 30 in 1971 to 35 in 1973.

As the number of employees increased, so did

the number of residents in nursing homes. The

1,197,517 residents in 1973 were nearly 122,000

more than the 1971 figure. In fact, the number of

residents per home increased more than the FTE’s

per home, from 49 to 55.

There were more than 41,000 registuwd

the number of part-time employees.

nurses @N’s) and almost 56,000 licensed practical nurses (LPN’s) employed full time in nursing

homes in 1973. Although this represented an increase over the 1971 figures of 1,000 RN’s and

3,000 LPN’s, the increase in residents more than

offset this, resulting in a decline from 86.5 fulltime RN’s and LPN’s per 1,000 residents in 1971

to a rate of 80.9 in 1973 (table 3).

The occupancy rates for nursing homes remained constant from 1967 through 1973. In each

of the MFI survey years (1967, 1969, 1971, and

1973), the rate was 90 percent. This constant

rate was largely due to the long lengths of stay of

the many nursing home residents who enter nursing homes and remain there for the rest of their

lives.

Table F indicates the level of skill of the person in charge of nursing care for each of the

three possible shifts (day, evening, and night).

Half of the homes had an RN on duty during the

day shift, but only slightly more than one-fourth

had an RN for the evening shift, and less than oneft)urth had an RN for the night shift. There were

more LPN’s in charge of the evening and night

shifts, although RN’s were close seconds for each

of these shifts.

There were twice as many nursets aides on

duty during the evening shifts and three times as

many during the night shifts than during the day

shifts.

Not all nursing homes were set up in multiple

shifts. As table F indicates, 1,938 homes had no

evening shifts and 2,193 had no night shifts.

Geographic Distribution

Table 4 shows the number of each type of

nursing home by bed size group and by geographic

region. The only region that showed an increase

in nursing homes from the 1971 figures was the

South, which went from 5,060 in 1971 to 5,127 in

1973. The Northeast remained practically the

same (4,451 in 1971 and 4,441 in 1973), while the

North Central and West Regions experienced

noticeable decreases (a drop of 95 in the North

Central and 132 in the West).

The State with the largest decrease in nursing

homes d~ring this period was California which

showed a loss of 132 homes (by coincidence, the”

same decrease that occurred for the entire West

Region). The next largest decrease occurred in

number of nursing homes, a gain of 53 during this

2-year period. In all, 21 States and the District

of Columbia showed net decreases in nursing

homes from 1971 through 1973, 24 showed increases, and 5 remained the same.

Despite all the States that had a decrease in

nursing homes, only five States experienced a decrease in nursing home beds; and in one of these,

Rhode Island, the decrease was only 18 beds. The

other four States were Alaska (47 fewer beds),

Utah (213 fewer beds), Kentucky (445 fewer beds),

and Florida (915 fewer beds). California, even

with its large loss of homes, had an increase of

almost 5,000 beds. The State with the biggest increase in nursing home beds was Wisconsin

(14,312 more beds). Illinois was next (13,280 more

beds), followed by New York (11,776 more beds).

lation aged 65 years and over in each State. Rates

for each of the geographic regions and divisions

are given in table 5, and rates for each of the

States are given in table 6. The North Central

Region had the highest rate (75.4 beds per 1,000

population 65 years and over), followed by the

West (73.6), the Northeast (55.1), and the South

(50,5).

Figure 2 shows how the small and large nursing homes were distributed in each geographic region. It is clear from this chart that the West

Region had a disproportionate number of small

nursing homes (less than 25 beds) compared to

its large homes (100 beds or more). When figure

2 is compared to a similar chart in the 1971 report! it can be seen that the percent of small

homes decreased in each of the four regions. Tables 7-11 give nursing home data by geographic region, division, and State.

Admissions, Discharges, and Deaths

Of the 21,834 nursing homes surveyed, 3,333

reported no admissions, 4,888 reported no discharges, and 6,372 reported no deaths during

1972 (table 12). While it is possible that some of

these homes did not have admissions, discharges,

or deaths during 1972, it is unlikely that all of

them, particularly the larger nursing homes, did

not experience these events.

Table 12, displaying these homes by various

bed size categories, shows that 60 percent of both

the homes with no admissions and the homes with

no discharges had fewer than 25 beds. For these

smaller homes, no admissions or discharges is a

reasonable possibility since many times the residents in these homes are permanent residents

with nowhere else to live. Hence, if the beds were

filled and there were no deaths, there would be no

admissions or discharges.

Rather than continuing the speculation on

which of these homes actually had admissions,

discharges, and deaths, this section will merely

present data on those homes that reported having

these events. Tables 12 and 13 can be used as references for identifying characteristics of the

homes showing no admissions, discharges, or

deaths.

There were more than 1.1 million admissions

in the 18,501 nursing homes reporting admissions

in the 1973 survey (tables 14 and 15). These admissions, which were for calendar year 1972, represented an average of 60 admissions per home.

As would be expected, the number of admissions

per home increased as the bed capacity of the

home increased. For the homes with less than 25

beds there was an average of 9 admissions per

home, whereas for the homes with 500 or more

beds there was an average of 360 admissions

per home.

Table 16 shows how the admissions were distributed by State.

The questionnaire was worded in a way that

separated the deaths from the discharges (see

appendix III). As tables 12 and 13 indicate, 4,888

homes reported no discharges and 6,372 reported

no deaths during 1972. The 16,946 homes reporting discharges reported approximately

770,000 and the 15,462 homes reporting deaths

reported almost 272,000. As with admissions, the

discharges and deaths were directly related to the

bed capacities of the homes (tables 14 and 15).

Table 16 shows the distribution of discharges and

deaths by State.

HOSPITALS

Highlights

There were 7,438 hospitals

States in 1973 according to the

joint survey conducted by NCHS

in the United

results of the

and AHA that

year. The vast majority of these hospitals (6,458

7
or 87 percent) were general medical and surgical

or, simply, general hospitals. The remainin~ 980

were specialty hospitals, which included such hospitals as psychiatric. (508), tuberculosis (65),

chronic disease (70),rehabilitation (73), maternity (27),alcoholism (41), and orthopedic (38),

plus various other kinds which will be called

“other” (158). These “other” hospitals are explained in appendix 110

Approximately 1,450,000 patient beds were

available in the 7,438 hospitals, and, on an average

day, 77 percent of them were occupied.

Since the services offered in specialty hospitals are not the same as those offered in general

hospitals, and since the populations served by the

two are not the same, a more meaningful picture

of the availability of hospital services is obtained

by presenting and discussing the statistics on

these two types separately. In the discussion that

follows, this has been done with the

general hospitals presented first.

The 6,458 general hospitals contained

1,030,432 beds, an average of 160 beds per hospital (up from 152 beds in 1971). Table G shows the

distribution of general hospitals by bed size categories for 1973 and 1971.

There was a decrease of 149generalhospitals between 1971 and 1973 and the decrease occurred almost exclusively in the smaller

hospitals. General hospitals with less than 75

beds showed a decline of 274whereas thenumker

of hospitals with 750r more bedsroseby 125. By

percentages, however, there was no great change.

In 1971, 45 percent of thegeneral hospitals had

less than 75 beds compared with 42 percent in

1973. In both years about 75percentofthegeneral hospitals had under 200 beds, while 5percent

had more than 500 beds.

In terms of ownership, thevast majority of

general hospitals were either nonprofit or government operated only 13 percent were operated for

profit. Similar results were found in 1971. In addition, most of these proprietary hospitals were

small; 71.5 percent had less than 100 beds.

Utilization

The occupancy rate

(

inpatient days

beds X 365 )

of general hospitals in 1973 was75percent as compared

to 77 percent in 1971. As table 17 indicates, the

occupancy rates in general hospitals varied according to the size of the hospitals. The larger the

hospital the higher the occupancy rate. The rates

ranged from 50 percent in the hospitals which had

less than 25 beds to 81 percent in those with 500

or more beds.

There were also differences in occupancy

rates by ownership categories (table 18). The proprietary general hospitals had lower rates (66 percent) than each of the other three ownership categories (nonprofit, 77 percenq Federal Government, 79 percent; and State and local government,

71 percent).

Admissions continued to rise in general hospitals. From about 32.5 million in 1971, admissions rose to more than 33.9 million in 1973, an

increase of 4.5 percent. Since the increase in admissions was more rapid than the increase in

beds, the resulting turnover rate (number of yearly

admissions per bed) was higher for general hospitals in 1973 than it was in 1971 (32.9 and 32.3,

respectively).

By looking solely at these turnover rates,

one might get the impression that there was little

change between the 1971 and 1973 patient load in

8
general hospitals. However, it should be remembered that during this period there was a sizable

decrease in the number of general hospitals. By

shift ing one’s attention from admissions per bed

to adrnissiom pev hospifal, one would find that the

number of admissions per general hospital rose

from 4,913 in 1971 to 5,255 in 1973. That represented an increase from about 13 admissions per

day to about 14 admissions per day. Similarly, the

number of discharges pev hospital increased from

4,911 in 1971 to 5,248 in 1973-the same growth

rate as for admissions (from 13 to 14 per day).

Together, this change in admissions and discharges represented a substantial. rise in the

patient load of general hospitals.

Turnover rates are closely linked with lengths

of stay. Those hospitals which are short-stay in

nature, as general hospitals are, have a rather

high turnover of patients. Long-stay hospitals

have a rather low turnover of patients. For example, general hospitals had an average length

of stay of 8 days with a turnover rate of 32.9,

whereas psychiatric and chronic disease hospitals

had lengths of stay of 249 and 234 days with

turnover rates of 1.9 and 1.3, respectively, in

1973 (tables H and 18).

Another important measure of hospital utilization is outpatient visits. In 1973 almost 226 million outpatient visits were recorded in general

hospitals (table 19). That was an increase of over

21 million from 1971 despite the fact that there

were 100 fewer general hospitals providing outpatient services. (This decline of 100 general hospitals providing outpatient. services was in all

likelihood the result of the previously mentioned

overall decline of 149 general hospitals.) It should

also be pointed out that nearly 99 percent of all

general hospitals (6,378 out of 6,458) provided

outpatient services (table 19). The number of outpatient visits per general hospital providing these

services rose from 31,604 in 1971 to 35,430 in

1973.

The three basic types of outpatient visits defined in the 1973 MFI Survey were emergency

visits, outpatient clinic visits, and other visits

(referred patients). Of the three types, most of

the outpatient visits (41.9 percent) were clinic

visits, while the remainder were split between

emergency visits (29.5 percent) and referred patient visits (28.6 percent). The 94.7 million outpatient clinic visits to general hospitals shown in

table 19 represent an increase of 4 percent over

the 1971 figure; the 66.6 million emergency visits,

a 15 percent increase; and the 64.7 million referred visits, a 16 percent increase.

Location With Respect to SMSA’S

In general, a standard metropolitan statistical

area (SMSA) is defined as an integrated economic

and social unit with a large population nucleus.

Each SMSA contains at least:

. One central city with 50,000 inhabitants or

more, or

● Two cities having contiguous boundaries and

constituting, for general economic and social

purposes, a single community with a combined population of at least 50,000, the

smaller of which must have a population of at

least 15,000.6

Though less than half (49 percent) of all

general hospitals were located within SMSA’S

(table 20), almost three-fourths (74 percent) of

the general hospital beds were in SMSAts (table

21). It would appear from this that the larger hospitals were located in SMSA’S. Table 20, which

shows the distribution of hospitals within and outside SMSA’s by bed size groups, verifies this.

For example, the non- SMSAfs contained 72 percent

of all the general hospitals that had less than 100

beds, while the SMSA’s contained 73 percent of all

the general hospitals with 100 beds or more and

86 percent of those with 200 beds or more. Considering that the highest concentrations of people

Geographic Distribution

There were 4.9 general hospital beds per

1,000 U.S. population in 1973. The North Central

Region had the highest number of beds per 1,000

population (5.2) and the West had the lowest (4.4)

(table 22). Table K lists the States with the six

highest and six lowest rates of general hospital

beds per 1,000 population. As the table indicates,

Maryland had the lowest rate at3.6 whilethe District of Columbia had the highest rate at 9.6. However, because they border each other,manyofthe

District’s hospitals (as well as their health facilities) would be shared with their Maryland neighbors. These rates, therefore, are misleading

since the hospital beds are actuallyserving populations from both areas.

Table 23 and figure 3 show the occupancy

rates in general hospitalsforeach State.Fromthe

figure it can be seen that the higher occupancy

rates occurred in the northeastern States with

Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, D.C., and

CMio having the highest rates. The lowest rates

appeared primarily in the northwestern and far

western States. Table 23 pinpoints thelowestoccupancy rate as 62 percent in Alaska and the

highest as86 percent in Rhode Island.

Table 23 also displays selected pertinent data

for general hospitals by State.

Looking solely at the nurse to patient ratios it

was found that the number of full-time equivalent

RN’s and LPN’s per 1,000 residents increased

from 751 in 1971 to 805 in 1973. All of this tends

to suggest that more staff and, hopefully, more

staff time is becoming available

general hospitals.

Specialty Hospitals

Number and Utilization

to patients in

Only the four largest categories of specialty

hospitals will be discussed here. These incIude

psychiatric, rehabilitation, chronic disease, and

tuberculosis hospitals. (The detailed tables in

this report also present data on alcoholic and

maternity hospitals.)

Of these four types, only rehabilitation hospitals showed an increase from 1971 through 1973

(table M). For psychiatric hospitals the average

bed capacity decreased from 785 to 666, and for

tuberculosis hospitals it decreased from 180 to

157. Chronic disease hospitals, although decreasing in numbers, expanded their bed capacities from

273 to 319. Rehabilitation hospitals expanded their

bed capacities from 114 to 119 while increasing in

numbers.

Table N shows ownership distributions for

each type of hospital for 1973. These figures are

consistent with the 1971 breakdowns with one exception—there was an increase in the number of

proprietary psychiatric hospitals despite an overall decrease in all psychiatric hospitals and decreases in each of the other three ownership

categories. Even with the increase, there were

only 104 proprietary psychiatric hospitals which

represented only 20 percent of all psychiatric

hospitals. Rehabilitation, tuberculosis, and

chronic disease hospitals combined numbered only

11 which were classified as proprietary. In fact,

no tuberculosis hospitals were proprietary.

Table O displays the occupancy rates and

turnover rates (admissions per bed) for eachof

these four types of hospitals for 1973 and 1971.

The occupancy rates remainedrelatively constant

for the two years, whereas the turnover rates,

particularly for tuberculosis hospitals, had notable changes.

In these tuberculosis hospitals,thenumber of

admissions per bed went from 2.0in 1971 to2.5

in 1973, a 25 percent increase: This increase

could be due to the decreased numbers of tuberculosis hospitals and beds which resulted inmore

admissions into the tuberculosis hospitals that

still remained.

Location With Respect to SMSA’s

The vaet majority of each of the four types

of specialty hospitals werelocatedwithin SMSA~s.

Table P shows that the decline inthe numberof

psychiatric hospitals occurred amongthose that

were located outside the SMSA’S. In fact, there

actually was an increaseinthenumberofpsychiatric hospitals within SMSA’S. It is interesting to

note the distribution of the psychiatric hospitals

with respect to SMSA’S (table 20). Thepsychiatric

hospitals located outside SMSA’S werepredominantlylarge hospitals (77 percent had 200 beds or

more), whereas the psychiatric hospitals located

within SMSA’s were fairly evenly divided (46percent had 200 or more beds). Table P also indicates

that 89 percent of all rehabilitation hospitals

were located within SMSA’S in 1973,

Occupancy rates for each of the four types of

hospitals are compared in table Q for those hospitals located within SMSA’s and those located outside SMSA’s. For psychiatric and chronic disease

hospitals the occupancy rates were virtually the

same regardless of location. Tuberculosis hospitals had higher occupancy rates outside SMSA’S,

but rehabilitation hospitals had higher occupancy

rates within SMSA’S.

Tables 26-28 give additional hospital data by

State for all hospitals.

OTHER HEALTH FACILITIES

Included in the 1973 MFISurveywere 4,836

health facilities other than hospitals and nursing

homes. These facilities, called’’other health facilities, “ included resident schools orhomes for

the deaf, the blind, thephysicallyhandicapped, the

mentally retarded, the emotionally disturbed, unwed mothers, dependent children (and orphans),

and alcoholics or drug abusers andmiscellaneous

other facilities.

The category referred to as ’’miscellaneous

other facilities” incorporates many multipurpose

facilities. These include such combinations as

homes for dependent children and the emotionally

disturbed, and homes for the physically handicappedand mentally retarded.

The two largest groups werefacilities forthe

mentally retarded, which numbered 1,348, an~

facilities for the emotionally disturbed, which

numbered 1,282. Both numbers represented increases over the 1971 figures. The two biggest

increases were for facilities for the emotionally

disturbed and for facilities for alcoholics and

drug abusers. The former increased from 875

to 1,282 while the latter increased from 166 to

809 (table R). These rather large increases were

the result of the inclusion of halfway houses for

the emotionally disturbed, alcoholics, and drug

abusers in the 1973 survey. Halfway houses were

not surveyed in the 1971 MFI Survey.

“Table R also indicates substantial decreases

in homes for unwed mothers, facilities for dependent children, and the group calledmiscellaneous other facilities, The decrease in this latter

group was the result of the deletion of children’s

correctional facilities from the MFI survey. In

1971 there were 752 such institutions reported in

the MFI, but it was decided that the 1973 survey

should concentrate on health facilities per se and

these correctional facilities were deleted.

Ts.ble S shows that most of these other types

of health facilities experienced a decline in bed

capacity from 1971 to 1973. The only facilities to

increase in bed capacity were those for unwed

mothers and those for the emotionally disturbed,

and their increases were fairly small. The occupancy rates shown in this table reveal that little

change took place over the 2-year period, and the

changes were almost always in the form of decreases. The primary exception to this was the

homes for unw~d mothers, which showed a sub.

stantial increase in occupancy rate.

Tables 29 and 30 show the distributions of

these other facilities by bed size categories and

by ownership categories. Nearly half (47 percent)

of the facilities for the deaf and/or blind had 100

METHODOLOGY

Nursing Homes

Survey procedures. -The nursing home mailing

list for the 1973 Master Facility Inventory (MFI) was

created by merging two lists—the final list of nursing

homes for the 1971 MFI Survey and the list of new

nursing homes (births) gathered by the Agency Reporting

System (ARS).5

The 1971 MFI list consisted of 22,004 nursing

homes and the ARS contained approximately 3,500

births. Together these 25,504 (approximate) nursing

homes made up the 1973 nursing home mailing list.

Upon receiving the returned questionnaires, those *

homes that were out of business and those that did

not meet the National Center for Health Statistics’

definition of a nursing home were eliminated. From

the 1971 MFI list 3,009 nursing homes had gone out

of business and were therefore eliminated, as were

about 650 homes which were out of scope. Thus, the

final total of nursing homes for 1973 was 21,834.

C)f these 21,834 homes, 21,025 sent back their

completed questionnaires; this represented a response

rate of 96 percent. Data for the 809 nonresponding

homes, as well as data for missing items on the returned

questionnaires, were obtained through various types of

imputation procedures. Whenever possible, 1971 MFI

data were used to replace missing data.

For those responding homes that omitted data not

available in 1971, an imputation method was used in

which all nursing homes were stratified by predetermined variables such as bed-size group, ownership

category, and type of home. Missing data for a home

were then supplied by using the data from a home whose

characteristics were most like the home with the missing

data. It should be pointed out here that when a responding home failed to answer any of the major

questions (bed size, ownership, type of facility, number

of patients), a fail-edit questionnaire containing the

omitted questions waa sent to them and they were asked

to answer these originally omitted questions.

NOTE The list of referencesfollowsthe text.

The mailing dates for the nursing home portion of

the MFI were as follows:

Initial mailing - July 23, 1973

1st followup (reminder card) - August 3

2nd followup (2nd questionnaire) - August 30

3rd followup (3rd questionnaire) - September 24

Field followup (telephone) - October 8

Results of complement survey. —In an effort to

check the completeness of coverage in the MFI, a

complement survey was conducted. (The complement

survey has been discussed in detail in Vitul and Health

Statistics, Series 1, No. 3.1) Briefly, the complement

survey matches the health facilities found independently

in an area sample survey against the MFI list of

facilities for that area. Any facility discovered in the

sample survey but missed by the MFI constitutes

undercoverage, and an appropriate weight is assigned

to the missed facility.

The U.S. Bureau of the Census handled the matching

and the weighting procedures for the 1973 complement

survey. The results indicated that the MFI undercoverage for nursing homes was 2 percent, i.e.,-

approximately 485 nursing homes were missed in

the 1973 survey.

Other Health Facilities

The procedure involved in creating the mailing

list for the other health facilities was the same as that

for the nursing homes. (Other health facilities include

homes for the deaf, the blind, the physically handicapped, the emotionally disturbed, the mentally retarded, unwed mothers, dependent children, alcoholics,

or drug abusers and juvenile correctional facilities.)

The 1971 final listing of these facilities, which contained 4,769 such places, was merged with the ARS

list of potential facilities, which contained approximately 2,050 places. With the elimination of the outof-business and out-of -scope facilities, the final total

of other health facilities for 1973 was 4,836.

The response rate for these 4,836 facilities was

98 percent. The mailing dates were the same as those

for the nursing homes.

55
Hospitals

Unlike nursing homes and other health facilities

which are surveyed every 2 years, hospitals are

surveyed amually. The mailing list for hospitals in

1973 was created, therefore, by merging the final list

of hospitals from the 1972 survey with the list of new

(or potentially new) hospitals found between the 1972

and 1973 surveys. This mailing list was composed

of three parts-those hospitals registered and surveyed by the American Hospital Association (AHA),

those hospitals belonging to and surveyed by the

American Osteopathic Association, and the remaining

non-AHA, nonosteopathic hospitals which are surveyed

by the National Center for Health Statistics.

The final 1972 list contained 7,480 hospitals.

This consisted of 7,022 AHA hospitals, 150 osteopathic hospitals, and 266 non-AHA, nonosteopathic hospitals. The new hospitals were adkled to this list, and

with the elimination of duplicate, out-of-business,

and out-of-scope ho~pitals, the final tally of hospitals

for 1973 was 7,438.

The response rate for these 7,438 hospitals was

approximately 95 percent. The imputation procedures

used in obtaining missing hospital data were similar

to those used in obtaining missing nursing home data.

The mailing dates for the hospital survey to the

non-AHA, nonosteopathic hospitals (i.e., NCHS’S

portion) were as follows:

Initial mailing - first week in November

1st followup (2nd questionnaire) - first week in

December

2nd followup (3rd questionnaire) - third week in

December

Field followup (telephone) - second week in

January 1974

The AHA and osteopathic surveys were conducted

by these respective agencies approximately 1 month

prior to the above dates.

APPENDIX II

CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR NURSING HOMES AND HOSPITALS

Nursing Homes

The criteria for classifying insti utions are based on

several \ factors: The number of ersons receiving

nursing care during the week prior to the day of the

survey; administration of medications and treatments

in accordance with physician’s orders; supervision over

medications which may be self- administere~ 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 the 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 care 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. (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,

and bowel and bladder retraining.)

Personal Care and Other Homes

Personal 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:

Some but less than 50 percent of the residents received

nursing care during the week prior to the survey and

there was one registered professional or licensed

practical nurse or more on the staff.

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 meh

Medications and treatments were administered

in accordance with physician’s orders.

Supervision over self-administered medications

was provided.

Three or more personal services were routinely

provided.

Personal care home. -An establishment is a personal care home if the primary and predominant function

of the facili~ is personal care and no residents received nursing care during the week prior to the survey.

Places in which one or both 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:

Medications and treatments were administered in accordance with physician’s orders, or supervision over

medications which may be self-administered was provided.

Three or more of the criterion personal services were

routinely provided.

Domiciliavj care home. —A facility is ~ domiciliary

care home if the primary and predominant function of the

facility is domiciliary care but the facility 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 giving 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.

remaining types of specialty hospitals are grouped

together and called “other.” This category includes

Armed Forces dispensaries; eye, ear, nose, and throat

hospitals; orthopedic hospitals; and any other type of

hospital not already specified. As section B(2) on the

hospital questionnaire indicates, there are two categories for the mentally retarded: a hospital unit

within a school for the mentally retarded (code 12)

and an institution for the mentally retarded (code

62) (see appendix III). Any facility which was one of

these two types was removed from the hospital list

and placed on the mentally retarded portion of the

“other health facilities” list.

ownership, staff size, number of beds and other related faci Iity characteristic CS. The information wi I I be

used to provide statistics on the number and kinds of such facilities in the United States and the

CHANGES THAT OCCURRED DURING THE 2 YEARS since the last Master Facility Inventory Survey.

The National Center for Health Statistics is committed to provide a factual basis for planning national

programs designed to advance the health of the American people. In fulfilling this purpose, information

from sections A and B of this questionnaire, as related to individual facilities or listings, will be made

available upon request to the NCHS.

The data from sections C, D and E, however, are treated as confidential and wi I I not be released to

anyone or used in any way other than for statistical summaries. The published statistics will be

presented in a manner to ensure that no individual facility can be identified.

Please fill out the questionnaire and return it within 5 days in the enclosed preaddressed envelope.
