2009 Annual Hospitals Report
If considering just substantiated complaints, it is clear that those with deficiencies cited constitute a larger share than
when considering all complaints overall, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 demonstrate. Among urban hospitals, 22.1% of
substantiated complaints resulted in deficiency citations. Among rural hospitals, the figure was almost double, 42.9%,
that of hospitals, suggesting that the allegations of substantiated complaints at rural hospitals are more likely to
correspond to a statutory or regulatory deficiency.
