Determinants of Hospital Length of Stay
JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration, 1993An example of the inefficiency of cost-based reimbursement is that wide variations were observed between hospitals and between regions in the cost of treating similar diagnoses, with no apparent differences in quality. To correct these variations, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act and its concomitant prospective payment system based on DRGs ...

Reducing Hospital Inpatient Lengths of Stay
Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 1999This article describes the importance of hospital length of stay as an indicator of health care efficiency and provides guidance concerning the development of data for length of stay reduction. It identifies variables involved in length of stay evaluation including the mean stay, median stay, and length of stay standard deviation.

Epilepsy monitoring unit length of stay
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2016With an increasing focus on quality metrics, hospital length of stay (LOS) in the U.S. has garnered significant scrutiny. To help establish evidence-based benchmarks for epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) metrics, we evaluated the impact of multiple variables on LOS through a retrospective analysis of 905 consecutive inpatient adult EMU admissions.

Refinements of existing revenue-management systems attempt to account for guests' actual length of stay, although many early systems assumed one-night stays. Other inputs to revenue-management systems involve no-show rates and average room rates. Tests of added rules for revenue management were conducted at three hotels in an effort to exceed the ...

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.

The previous article in this series examined the evidence to support the generally smaller size of hospitals built in recent years. Bed demand was roughly the same as 10 years ago (Jones, 2009a). This observation may conflict with the generally perceived notion that average length of stay (LOS) is declining and therefore hospitals need to be smaller ...

Determinants of Length of Stay in Geropsychiatry
The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 1994To examine factors associated with prolonged length of stay (LOS) on an inpatient, acute geropsychiatry service, the authors reviewed electronic medical records and social work files for patients discharged during a 12-month period. There was no significant correlation between LOS and age, medical comorbidity, or the presence of dementia, depression ...

Length of stay in community hospitals
Nursing Standard, 2001To identify the factors that contribute to variation in length of stay in hospital.After a pilot study, an audit was undertaken in 11 community hospitals in a single trust over an eight-week period. Each ward was audited once. During the audit period 202 patients' records were reviewed, of which 71 were GP admissions and 131 were consultant admissions ...
