Calculate the average length of stay for surgical patients in April. 23. Calculate the average length of stay for obstetrical patients in April.Explanation / Answer
Average Length of Stay(ALOS)= Discharge Days/Total discharges including death.
(a) ALOS for adults & children
We have to exclude newborns
Discharge days=1577+998+218+203=2996
Number of discharges including deaths=313+133+74+70=590
ALOS=2996/590=5.0779
(b) ALOS for medical patients
Discharge days=1577
Number of discharges including death=307+6=313.
ALOS=1577/313=5.0383
(c) ALOS for surgical patients
Discharge days=998
Number of discharges including death=128+5=133
ALOS=998/133=7.5038
(d) ALOS for obstetrical patients
Discharge days=218
Number of dscharges including death=73+1=74
ALOS=218/74=2.9459
