“In this report, ALC information is summarized in two ways: hospitalizations and days. ALC hospitalizations are those where at least one ALC day was recorded. Note that transfers between acute hospitals were considered part of a single hospitalization. ALC days were calculated by summing the number of days spent in hospital that were designated as ALC.”
