Denominator

Number of HCP in groups(a)-(c) below who are working in the healthcare facility for at least 1 working day between October 1 and March 31 of the following year, regardless of clinical responsibility or patient contact. Denominator is reported in the aggregate; rates for each HCP group may be calculated separately for facility-level quality improvement purposes: (a) Employees: all persons who receive a direct pay check from the reporting facility (i.e., on the facility's payroll).
