JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration, 1986
An analysis of data from medical records of 500 patients discharged from an acute care hospital in 1983 found seven of ten variables studied to be significantly related to length of stay. The results of this correlational study can lead to experimental research to determine the effects of nursing care on length of stay, which greatly affects hospitals'

British Journal of Healthcare Management, 2010
Our perception of how health care behaves is reflected in the policies formulated to contain health care costs. Therefore, most would view length of stay as a continuously decreasing measure, reflecting increasing efficiency. Deviations from this assumed behaviour are therefore regarded as evidence for poor efficiency.
