An interesting fact is, that to this date, there are no national standards for assignment of hospital Facility Levels.

Your Point System should correlate with the resources utilized to provide a given service such as employee wages, employee benefits and facility costs. In summary, the ED Facility code should reflect the intensity of the hospital services that is provided.
