The total dollar amount of gross patient charges for un-sponsored charity care provided through faculty physician practice plans (i.e., PRS, MSRDP, PIP) during the reporting fiscal year. The definition of un-sponsored charity care included in Article III, Special Provisions of the General Appropriations Act that coincides with the reporting period is used. If an institution chooses to use a statistical sample in determining indigent care status as allowed under this definition, the sample methodology must be: (1) consistent with the methodology used by all other academic health centers; and (2) pre-filed with the Legislative Budget Board and the Governor's Office of Budget and Planning. The State Auditor will not certify the measure unless the methodology meets these two qualifications. The definition applies to charges by all practice plans, including medical, dental, health professions, nursing or other health care discipline.

The total number of outpatient visits during the fiscal year. An 'outpatient visit' occurs when the individual receives health care services, including emergency room services, but is not admitted to a hospital bed. One patient who initially visits an emergency room and is then referred to and receives health care services from another affiliated, contracted, or owned outpatient facility would be counted as two outpatient visits. The definition includes visits to both on-site (on the premises of the hospital or institution) and off-site outpatient facilities. It includes outpatient visits previously reported as a separate measure under the Dental School. A 'patient visit' occurs when an individual receives health care services from Institutional faculty, post-graduate trainees, or pre-doctoral dental students at a hospital or clinic, affiliated with, contracted with, or owned, operated and funded by a health-related institution (including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Hospital) during the reporting period. To the extent possible, the total should exclude outpatients visits associated with health care providers who are not employed by the institution but may teach residents and students.
