Note: Major teaching hospitals are defined by a ratio of interns and residents to beds of 0.25 or greater, while other teaching hospitals have a ratio of greater
than 0 and less than 0.25. A margin is calculated as revenue minus costs, divided by revenue. Data are based on Medicare-allowable costs and exclude
critical access hospitals. Medicare acute inpatient margin includes services covered by the acute care inpatient PPS.
