DSH = Disproportionate Share Hospitals serve a significantly disproportionate number of low-income patients and receive payments from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services to cover the costs of providing care to uninsured. (Usually in urban setting). CSF= A Critical Shortage Facility is a health care site located in a Health Professional Shortage Area that provides primary medical care or mental health care to underserved populations. (Usually in rural setting).

Are the majority of RNs and other APRN (not NPs) responding on here from CSFs or DSHs??? Because 30% is equally split between the 2 types of facilities. That may be why some with a larger D/I ratio or higher tier does not get awards when others with lower D/I ratios are getting awards.
