Determining Factors Influencing Length of Stay and Predicting Length of Stay Using Data Mining in the General Surgery Department
Background: Length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. A shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. It can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. Objective: This study aimed to ident...
متن کاملBenchmarking and reducing length of stay in Dutch hospitals
BACKGROUND To assess the development of and variation in lengths of stay in Dutch hospitals and to determine the potential reduction in hospital days if all Dutch hospitals would have an average length of stay equal to that of benchmark hospitals. METHODS The potential reduction was calculated using data obtained from 69 hospitals that participated in the National Medical Registration (LMR). ...
متن کاملA continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE
The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
متن کاملFactors associated with length of stay in hospital among the elderly patients using count regression models
Background: Aging is a major challenge not only for high-income countries but also for middle- and low-income countries. The length of stay (LOS) in hospitals is one of the major concerns of elderly patients, which should be taken into consideration. We aimed to investigate the factors affecting LOS of elderly patients admitted to a referral hospital of northeast of Iran. Methods: A rel...
متن کاملHospital discharges and length of stay: short-stay hospitals United States - july 1963-june 1964.
An estimated 24.8 million discharges from short-stay hospitals, involving at least one night's stay, occurred among the civilian, noninstitutional population during an average 12-month period ending during July 1963-June 1964.
