Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting for Lease Concessions Granted in Connection with the COVID-19 Pandemic On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") held a public meeting and shortly afterwards issued a question-and-answer ("Q&A") document which was intended to provide accounting relief for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The accounting relief permits an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is a requirement of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total payments previously required by the lease. An entity may account for COVID-19 related lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (ii) as a lease modification. To the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments, but the total lease payments are substantially the same, lessors are allowed to account for the concession as if no change had been made to the original lease contract. Based on the Q&A, an entity is not required to account for all lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic under one elected option, however, the entity is required to apply the elected option consistently to leases with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic did not start to adversely impact the economic conditions in the United States until late March 2020 and did not have a material effect on our operations or financial results during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020. We have received short-term rent deferral requests from a portion of tenants under lease at our MOBs. These requests are under review on a request-by-request basis based upon each tenant’s specific circumstances as well as consideration of potential economic benefit available and received by tenants through governmental assistance programs. At this time, we cannot estimate the magnitude of short-term rent deferral requests that we may ultimately agree to provide, or the magnitude of additional short-term rent deferral requests that we may receive in the future. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We will evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. The standard was effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Lease Concessions Granted in Connection with the COVID-19 Pandemic

On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") held a public meeting and shortly afterwards issued a question-and-answer ("Q&A") document which was intended to provide accounting relief for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The accounting relief permits an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is a requirement of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total payments previously required by the lease.
