^aHospitals labeled as not meeting state requirements do not necessarily defy legal requirements but do not promise to achieve the benchmark that is set by the state. A hospital being labeled as meeting state requirements for mean stated times of release does not preclude the possibility of the hospital taking longer than state requirements.

^bIf state requirements are less strict than HIPAA requirements or give general timeframes, the 30-day requirement of HIPAA applies.
