Notes

When a patient is occupying a bed in a facility and does not require the intensity of resources/services provided in that care setting (acute, chronic or complex continuing care, mental health or rehabilitation), the patient must be designated ALC at that time by the most appropriate care team member, which may be a physician, long term care assessor, patient care manager, discharge planner or other care team member.
This indicator includes all levels of care (as determined by the type of bed they are assigned): Acute, Chronic and Rehab.
Some patients may have admissions in more than one level of care during their hospitalization.
