Facility-level record
Facility-level record is a row representing one named health care facility rather than an aggregate: one hospital per week in HHS capacity data, one geocoded service-delivery-site point in HRSA locators, one profile per facility in commercial platforms. Of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, HealthData.gov - COVID-19 Hospital Capacity by Facility (Historical Time Series) documents it in its listing.

Why does Facility-level record matter when choosing a dataset?
A field you cannot interpret is a column you cannot join, filter or audit - and misreading one key field corrupts every downstream number.
HealthData.gov - COVID-19 Hospital Capacity by Facility (Historical Time Series) documents its handling precisely: "One row per hospital per collection week (~6,000+ facilities), with state-aggregated companion views". When a vendor cannot describe their equivalent field that concretely, expect silent schema drift at integration time.
