DEFINITIONS:
*Set up Beds: Refers to the number of beds designated to HPH-the hospital's funding is based upon this number. Despite the fact that HPH has 211 Set-up Beds our 1999 census of 157 Staffed Beds in utilization shows movement to the community-the resources-difference between 211 and 157 beds is being utilized for community initiatives. By definition, we are obliged to retain the 211-bed figure until the funding formulas are adjusted to recognize HPH's significant shift to community services.

*Staffed Beds: Beds currently available that could be occupied at a moment's notice without redirecting staff from other programs. This number should reflect the facility's true capacity to provide care. Beds that cannot be staffed and not available for service should not be included.

*Brant/Niagara Geriatric Outreach: Psychogeriatric outpatient services in Brant and Niagara
