Boldface entries are factor loadings for the hospital-level consensus composites items. Because only the unique amount of explained variation is reported, the total explained variation of the rotated factors can be less than the sum of the eigenvalues. Because the rotated factors need not be orthogonal, the loadings can exceed 1.0 in magnitude.
