e) Need Determination
The following methodology is utilized to determine the
projected number of nursing care beds needed in a planning area:
1) Establish minimum and maximum planning
area use rates for the 0-64, the 65-74, and the 75 and over age groups as
follows:
A) Divide the HSA's base year
experienced nursing care patient days for each age group by the base year
population estimate for each age group to determine the HSA experienced use
rate for each age group;
B) the
minimum planning area use rate for each age group is 60% of the HSA experienced
use rate for each age group, and the maximum planning area use rate for each
age group is 160% of the HSA experienced use rate for each age group;
2) Divide the planning area's base
year experienced nursing care patient days for each age group by the base year
population estimate for each group to determine the planning area experienced
use rate for each age group;
3)
Determine the planning area's population projection, which is 5 years from the
base year; the use rate for each age group is as follows:
A) If the experienced use rate for an age
group is below the minimum use rate, the minimum use rate is the projected use
rate for that age group;
B) If the
experienced use rate for an age group is above the maximum use rate, the
maximum use rate is the projected use rate for that age group;
C) If the experienced use rate for an age
group is above the minimum use rate and below the maximum use rate, the
experienced use rate for the age group is the projected use rate for that age
group;
4) Multiply each
age group's projected use rate times the projected population for the age group
to determine the projected patient days for each age group;
5) Total the projected patient days for the
age groups to determine the planning area's total projected patient
days;
6) Divide the planning area's
total projected patient days by the number of days in the projected year to
obtain the projected average daily census;
7) Divide the projected average daily census
by .90 (90% occupancy factor) to obtain the projected planning area bed
need;
8) Subtract the number of
existing beds in the planning area from the projected planning area bed need to
determine the projected number of excess (surplus) beds or the projected need
for additional (deficit) beds in an area.
