The expected survival rate is the rate at which patients in a facility survive. This depends on the patients' age, race, sex, and if they have diabetes. Facilities with older patients or more patients with diabetes would have a lower expected patient survival rate. The actual survival rate is the rate at which patients in a facility survived during the period indicated on the table. If a facility was not open during this period, information is not available.
Many factors can affect the actual patient survival rates at a facility.
A facility may be able to control some of these factors, but not others. Making sure that its patients get all the treatments prescribed by the doctor. Treating a patient's health conditions early. How well it teaches its patients to take care of themselves. Unexpected death of a patient.
