CASE 7-1 “ Inpatient Service Days As a health information management (HIM] manager at Dover Regional Medical Center you oversee the statistical reporting. You are in the process of cross-training a back-up Hl clerk Il. You are showing her how to calculate the inpatient service days and want to clarify the difference between inpatient service days and total inpatient service days from the statistic reported of total length of stay (aka, total discharge days) for the hospital and for the coronary care unit (CCU). Part 1: Hospital census for September 1 The hospital daily census report for September 1 at 12:01 a.m. shows the inpatient census at midnight was 67. Eight patients were admitted and three patients were discharged on September 1. One of the eight patients that had been admitted subsequently died the same day of admission (September 1). Calculate the following showing your work: 1. Calculate the total inpatient service days for the hospital for September 1. 2. In your own words, compare and contrast total inpatient service days from total length of stay (LOS])? 3. Why would a hospital manager need to know or use each statistic of total inpatient service days and total LOS? Give an example when inpatient service days would be beneficial and total LOS would benefit a healthcare manager.
Part 2: CCU for November 15 The CCU manager is to report the inpatient service days to the director of nursing each day. On November 15, the CCU had 22 patients at 12:01 a.m. The CCU received one new direct admission, one transfer-in from 3 West, and one transfer-in from 2 East. The CCU transferred three patients out to 3 West, discharged one to a hospice center across town, and had one patient die on November 15. What are the inpatient service days for the CCU on November 15? Calculate the total inpatient service days for Dover Regional Medical Center for the CCU on November 15.
