A physician is a professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining, or Yes/No
restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and
mental impairments. Physicians may focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients, or
methods of treatment (known as specialist medical practitioners) or assume responsibility for the provision
of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities (known as general
practitioners). Medical practice properly requires a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as
anatomy and physiology), underlying diseases, and their treatment—the science of medicine—and a decent
competence in its applied practice, the art or craft of medicine.

Physician's assistants (PAs) are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician
Yes/No
supervision. PAs employed by the federal government are credentialed to practice. As part of their
comprehensive responsibilities, PAs conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and
interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, assist in surgery, and (in virtually all states) write
prescriptions. Within the physician-PA relationship, PAs exercise autonomy in medical decisionmaking and
provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. A PA's practice may also include education,
research, and administrative services.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse From the "Consensus Model": "An APRN is a registered nurse who has completed a graduate degree or
Yes/No
(APRN)
postgraduate program that has prepared him/her to practice in one of the four advanced practice roles (i.e.,
CRNA, CNM, CNS, or CNP). This includes the advanced knowledge and skills to provide direct patient
care in the health promotion and maintenance of individuals." "APRN education must be formal education
with a graduate degree or post-graduate certificate (either post-master's or post-doctoral) that is awarded by
an academic institution and accredited by a nursing or nursing-related accrediting organization recognized
by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA)" (pg 10). (www.aacn.nche.edu/education-resources/LACE_FAQ_8_11.pdf)

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time

to be determined by the employer (U.S. Department of Labor).
The definition by employer can vary and is generally published in
a company's employee handbook. Companies commonly require
an employee to work at least 30 to 35 hours per week to be
defined as full-time and therefore eligible for benefits.

Inpatient Days by Type of Payer

“An inpatient is a person who has been admitted to a hospital for bed occupancy for purposes of
receiving inpatient hospital services. Generally, a patient is considered an inpatient if formally admitted
as inpatient with the expectation that he or she will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed even
though it later develops that the patient can be discharged or transferred to another hospital and not
actually use a hospital bed overnight.” —CMS, IOMs, Publication 100-02, Chapter 1, Section 10

Private

Percentage of total inpatient days paid for by private payers by semester. Measured in percentage of the
total number of inpatient days for each semester, rounded to two decimal places.
Percentage of total inpatient days paid for by Medicare by semester. Measured in percentage of the total
number of inpatient days for each semester, rounded to two decimal places.
Percentage of total inpatient days paid for by Medicaid by semester. Measured in percentage of the total
number of inpatient days for each semester, rounded to two decimal places.
Percentage of total inpatient days paid for by other sources (that are not private, Medicare, or Medicaid)
by semester. Measured in percentage of the total number of inpatient days for each semester, rounded to
two decimal places.
There are two types of outpatient care:
1. An outpatient (or out-patient) is a patient who is not hospitalized for 24 hours or more but visits a
hospital, clinic, or associated facility for diagnosis or treatment. Treatment provided in this fashion is
called ambulatory care. Sometimes surgery is performed without the need for a formal hospital admission
or an overnight stay. This is called outpatient surgery.

The Census Bureau identifies two types of urban areas:
Urbanized Areas (UAs) of 50,000 or more people; and
Urban Clusters (UCs) of at least 2,500 and fewer than 50,000 people.
The term “rural” encompasses all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area.

2. “The use of a bed for physician periodic monitoring and active monitoring by the hospital's nursing or
other ancillary staff, for the patient care which are reasonable and necessary to evaluate an outpatient's
condition or determine the need for an inpatient admission. ” —Novitas, Local Coverage Determination

Primary, secondary, tertiary, or
quaternary care

- Primary care: The general health care that people receive on a routine basis that is not associated with
an acute or chronic illness or disability and may be provided by a physician, NP, or PA.
- Secondary care: Secondary health care services are provided by a physician specialist (such as a
pediatrician or internist) upon referral by a primary care physician/NP.
- Tertiary care: Tertiary care is specialized consultative health care, usually for inpatients and on referral
from a primary or secondary health professional, in a facility that has personnel and facilities for
advanced medical investigation and treatment, such as a tertiary referral hospital. Examples of tertiary
care services are cancer management, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, treatment for severe
burns, advanced neonatology services, palliative, and other complex medical and surgical interventions.
- Quaternary care: Quaternary care provides for the most complex level of medical and surgical care and
is available only in a limited number of academic health science centers. Some of these centers are
regional or national centers that offer more specialized care.

Nonprofit private: Nonprofit health care organizations are primarily responsible and accountable to the
communities and populations they serve. They are legally and ethically bound to “do good” for the
benefit of their communities. Their governing bodies comprise leaders from the communities they serve.
Rather than inuring to the benefit of private owners, the earnings and reserves of nonprofit health care
organizations are reinvested to benefit the community. A portion of those investments is made to improve
quality, service, and efficiency, usually in highly competitive environments. The remaining investments
are made in a variety of community programs, services, or products that do not cover their costs to
improve the health status of vulnerable populations and the broader community. A private nonprofit
organization receives most of its funds from private sources.
Nonprofit public: A public nonprofit health care organization is a nonprofit health care organization that
is funded wholly or in part by public sources, such as a city, county, tax district, or state.

Part-time
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment.
This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer (U.S. Department of Labor). The
definition by employer can vary and is generally published in a company's employee handbook.
Companies commonly require at least 30–35 hours per week to be defined as a full-time employee
and therefore eligible for benefits.
Full-time employment is employment in which a person works a minimum number of hours defined as
such by his or her employer. Full-time employment often comes with benefits that are not typically
offered to part-time, temporary, or flexible workers, such as annual paid time off, sick leave, and
health insurance. Full-time jobs are often considered careers. They generally pay more than part-time
jobs and usually require more hours per week.

Adjunct faculty leading course

An adjunct professor is a professor who does not hold a permanent or full-time position at the given
academic institution. This may be someone with a job outside the academic institution and teaching
courses in a specialized field or someone hired to teach courses on a contractual basis (frequently
renewable contracts). Adjunct faculty may give guest presentations, serve on graduate research
committees, or serve as preceptors. The position generally includes a teaching load below the
minimum required to earn benefits (health care, life insurance, etc.), although the number of courses
taught can vary.
