Length of Stay

Patients are staying too long in hospitals with excess days of stay caused by a wide variety of factors.  The inconsistent application of evidence-based clinical practice, delays in consults, testing, and procedures as well as variation in case management approaches all contribute to excess days. Once a patient is ready to be discharged, they can be delayed by a lack of access to their next care setting caused by capacity problems or prior authorization issues. These excess days of stay are costly, reduce capacity for another appropriate admission, and create opportunities for quality / safety problems for vulnerable patients.
