Length of stay in all medicine wards per HOSPITAL ADMISSION
| Indicators | |
| Indicator: | LOS Medicine per hospital admission |
| Created/Raw: | Created |
| Program: | Medicine |
| Start Date: | |
| End Date: | |
| Reports: | Directors Quarterly and Annual Report (Medicine) |
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 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.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
Inclusion Criteria
All Medicine admissions - see Definition of a Medicine Laptop Admission
Exclusion Criteria
None
Frequency
- Reported the admission to the Medicine Service ends, ie when there is a Dispo DtTm(Discharge Date)
- 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 reporting time frame.
Data Source
- For dates refer to LOS Per Record
- For hospitalization date - use Visit Admit DtTm
- For patient identifier - use either Person ID, Chart, PHIN
Reported as
- 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
