Universal Citation: 77 IL Admin Code ยง 1100.540

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024

a) Planning Areas

Planning areas are the same as those for medical-surgical and pediatrics care.

b) Age Groups

For intensive care, all ages.

c) Facility Utilization Rates

Facilities that provide intensive care services should operate those beds at or above an annual minimum occupancy rate of 60%.

d) Bed Capacity

Intensive care bed capacity is the total number of intensive care beds for a facility as determined by HFSRB pursuant to this Part.

e) Need Determination

In assessing the number of beds required to serve the residents of a planning area, HFSRB shall establish a base year and utilize the following methodology to determine the projected number of intensive care beds needed in a planning area:

1) Divide the three year average of experienced intensive care patient days by the total base year population to obtain a use rate;

2) Multiply the use rate by the projected year's total population projection, five years from the base year, to obtain projected patient days;

3) Divide the projected patient days by days in the projected year to obtain a projected average daily census;

4) Divide the projected average daily census by .60 (60% occupancy factor) to obtain the projected planning area bed need;

5) Subtract the number of existing beds in the planning area from the projected planning area bed need to determine the projected number of surplus (excess) beds or the projected bed deficit or additional beds needed in the area.
