Explanation / Answer

Average length of stay

= Total length of stay(discharge days) / Total discharges

Occupancy ratio / percentage

= ( Daily IPSD / Inpatient bed count for that day ) * 100%

Average length of stay for the year

= 2938 / 2937 = 1.00034

Month with the shortest length of stay

= Apr [Adm: 245, Disc:251]

Month with the longest length of stay

= Oct  [Adm: 245, Disc:251]
