A 'bed' is defined as an acute care bed. Any other bed, such as rehab, extended care, long-term care, etc. can be counted at a 2 to 1 ratio - that is, these other beds are considered ½ of an acute care bed. This is for counting purposes only, not clinically speaking - we don't want to offend anyone!
So, for a hospital that has 100 acute care beds, 50 rehab beds, and 60 extended care beds, the number of 'total beds' is 100 + ½ (50) + ½ (60), or 155. This hospital would pay $885 US for their MUSE annual membership dues. The MUSE membership year follows the calendar year, January through December. The fees are due annually.
