* Based on a universal telephone study in 1990, we reduced the total turnover for the years 1981-1997 by 14.2% due to incorrect reporting of retained CEOs and by 9.9% due to the appointment of interim or acting CEOs. The total reduction is 24.1%. In 1998, a sample survey of 146 hospitals showed that the appropriate deflator should be 18.6% which was applied to the 1998-2002 rates. In 2004, this deflator was adjusted to 18.8% on the basis of a survey of a sample of 150 hospitals; this was applied to the 2003-2005 rates and in 2006 was applied to states with 30 or more hospitals.
