Data on hospital characteristics are from the 2015 AHA annual survey. Data are presented as No. (%) unless otherwise noted.
AHA hospitals were limited to acute care hospitals subject to the inpatient prospective payment system and that indicated the availability of intensive care services in response to the 2015 AHA annual survey.
All hospitals were placed into 1 of 4 categories based on their response to the AHA survey: major teaching hospitals (hospitals that are members of the Council of Teaching Hospitals [COTH]), graduate teaching hospitals (hospitals that are not COTH members with a residency training program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education), minor teaching hospitals (hospitals that are not COTH members with a medical school affiliation reported to the American Medical Association), and nonteaching hospitals (all other institutions).
