Usually used in aggregate form as "per location" and/or "per reporting timeframe", e.g. month/quarter/year x Ward/Unit x Hospital.

==Significance==

Length of stay (LOS) is influenced by many factors, but safe and effective care should result in shorter [[:Category: Length of stay | length of stay]].

==Start Dates==

*Oct 2003 to Sept 2020 - each record is per ward stay. A hospital stay may have one or more individual ward stay (or records).

*Starting Oct 2020- each record is a continuous stay in any locations under Medicine service (or one Medicine episode) - see [[Definition of a Medicine ~~Laptop~~ Admission]]. If the patient is transferred to another service and comes back to Medicine service, this is a new record. A hospital stay may have one or more Medicine episodes.

*Starting Oct 2020- each record is a continuous stay in any locations under Medicine service (or one Medicine episode) - see [[Definition of a Medicine Program Admission]]. If the patient is transferred to another service and comes back to Medicine service, this is a new record. A hospital stay may have one or more Medicine episodes.

==Sampling Plan / Procedure==

===Inclusion Criteria===

All Medicine admissions - see Definition of a Medicine ~~Laptop~~ Admission

All Medicine admissions - see [[Definition of a Medicine Program Admission]]

===Exclusion Criteria===

None

===Frequency===

*Reported when ~~patient had been discharged out of Medicine.~~

* Reported the admission to the Medicine [[Service tmp entry|Service]] ends, ie when there is a [[Dispo DtTm]](Discharge Date)

*Monthly, quarterly, year based on discharged date of Dispo DtTm

* Monthly, quarterly, year based on discharged date of [[Dispo DtTm]]

==Definition and Derivation==

* Calculate the LOS for each record - refer to [[LOS Per Record]]

* Per patient, identify the records having the same [[Visit Admit DtTm]]. This implies same hospital stay or hospitalization.

* Per patient per hospitalization, sum up all the [[LOS Per Record]]

** It is possible that the same patient may have one or more hospitalization within the same time frame.

** It is possible that the same patient may have one or more hospitalization within the same reporting time frame.

==Data Source==

*For dates refer to [[LOS Per Record]]

* For dates refer to [[LOS Per Record]]

*For hospitalization date - use [[Visit Admit DtTm]]

* For hospitalization date - use [[Visit Admit DtTm]]

*For patient identifier - use either [[Person ID]], [[Chart]], [[PHIN]]

* For patient identifier - use either [[Person ID]], [[Chart]], [[PHIN]]

== Reported as==

* Mean, median, sum, minimum, maximum (in days) per ~~location~~ and/or time frame

* Mean, median, sum, minimum, maximum (in days) per site and/or time frame

* N is the number of patient's hospitalizations

* Counts and % of N based on LOS groups (<1,1-5,6-10,11-15-16-20,>20) for a given reporting time frame and/or site
