MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center · CEMSIS 20379 · unique normalized hospital / retained CMS name + EMS geography
Unweighted median of hospital report ratios PRD_HR_RN / DAY_TOT. Middle 50%: inclusive linear-interpolated 25th and 75th percentiles. Same 2024 selected-report file; audited Comparable reports, 365 or 366 days, majority (>50%) patient-day care group, exact unique HCAI IDs, reconciled care-day totals and existing CNO ratio. Includes reported zero RN hours; excludes missing values. No reference for mixed care-day groups or cohorts smaller than eight.
Reported contract reliance was 1.0 percentage points above the hospital’s pre-pandemic baseline.
The reported share uses a source-defined denominator that is not reconstructed from the displayed contract and productive-RN hour fields.
Where the numbers came from.
Facility record
Official HCAI facility identity and 248 licensed beds match the reporting-period record. Audited workforce filing, capacity record, and uniquely matched historical contract baseline are available.
MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center has its own facility identifier and reporting scope; system affiliation does not make its workforce observations interchangeable with Orange Coast.
Workforce source
2024 productive RN hours, contract labor, and RN intensity come from the hospital financial/workforce reporting layer.
