1. the percentile is your facility standing based on the percentage of occurrance (in your case 1.0 percent).

    the average of all of the other facilities is 0.3 percent

    your facility is higher than the averaged score (the mean score)
 
    if the 100th percentile rank is the worst, and average is 0.3 percent, do you see where your facility , at 1.0 percent, would rank in the highest quarter percentile?


* there are times that your facility average will not change at all , but the percentile rank will change because other facility averages change - particularly at the state level.

2. If the resident is listed as end-stage, or hospice, the resident is not in the denominator or numerator. (not counted in the category at all)
