cost report · 8 measures
| Measure | Vs peers | Score | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
Bed count (staffed)Primary size signal — drives peer-group comparisons throughout DrBox. Neither "better" nor "worse" on its own. Peer comparison: direction neutral. hcris.beds | p51 | 84 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Contract labor shareContract (agency, traveler) labor as share of total labor cost. Above ~10% historically signals staffing-retention problems and scheduling pressure that falls disproportionately on permanent clinicians. Lower is better for most clinicians. Peer comparison: lower is better. hcris.contract_labor_pct | p18 | 0.033 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Days cash on handHow many days of operating expenses the facility could cover from cash alone. Healthy systems hold 150+; under 50 is distress. Higher is better for job stability. Peer comparison: higher is better. hcris.days_cash_on_hand | — | — | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Total dischargesAnnual discharge volume. Size signal. Used for peer comparison, not quality ranking. Peer comparison: direction neutral. hcris.discharges_total | p68 | 6,352 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
FTE on payrollFull-time-equivalent employees on the facility's direct payroll (excludes contract labor). Used with contract_labor_pct to gauge staffing-model stability. Peer comparison: direction neutral. hcris.fte_payroll | p58 | 535.64 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Operating marginMargin excluding non-operating income (investments, donations). A truer picture of whether clinical operations are self-sustaining. Higher is better. Peer comparison: higher is better. hcris.operating_margin | p86 | 0.173 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Total marginNet income ÷ total revenue from the Medicare cost report — the bottom-line financial-health measure. Sustained negative margins correlate with staffing cuts, contract-labor reliance, and closure risk. Higher is generally healthier for institutional stability. Peer comparison: higher is better. hcris.total_margin | p82 | 0.199 | 2022-10..2023-09 |
Uncompensated care cost (USD)Dollar value of uncompensated care provided. Safety-net-facility signal; interpret with the facility's mission and patient mix. Not a quality measure. Peer comparison: direction neutral. hcris.uncomp_care_cost | p55 | 5,860,484 | 2022-10..2023-09 |

Identity is verified (via NPPES), then discarded. Reviews are aggregated before display — never surfaced per-reviewer. How anonymity works.
Discussion
Verified clinicians can discuss a specific review, annotate a data card, or contextualize facility-level numbers. Within a thread, each participant has a deterministic pseudonym derived from a one-way hash of (thread, anonymous token) — conversations cohere, but the same clinician has a different pseudonym in a different thread so their participation is not tied together publicly. How discussions protect you.
