What is the percentage of days from medicine? Round to one decimal place.
Answers: A . Schulman:
- Admission Date: 9/18
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 9/18 = 32 days
Hubbard:
- Admission Date: 9/12
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 9/12 = 38 days
Miraboto:
- Admission Date: 10/18
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 10/18 = 2 days
Tatum:
- Admission Date: 10/18
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 10/18 = 2 days

- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 9/4 = 46 days
Hruska:
- Admission Date: 10/5
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 10/5 = 15 days

Clay:
- Admission Date: 10/10
- Discharge Date: 10/20
- LOS = Discharge Date - Admission Date = 10/20 - 10/10 = 10 days
B. Schulman: 32 days
Hubbard: 38 days
Miraboto: 2 days
Tatum: 2 days

B.32 + 38 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 46 + 15 + 1 + 49 + 19 + 3 + 24 + 20 + 19 + 10 = 302. The total Length of Stay (LOS)
for all patients is 302 days.
C. To calculate the total LOS for medicine service patients, we add up all the individual LOS:39 + 23 + 47 + 50 + 20 + 20 + 11 = 210
The total Length of Stay (LOS) for medicine service patients is 210 days
D. - Schulman: LOS = 10/20 - 9/18 = 32 days
- Hruska: LOS = 10/20 - 10/5 = 15 days
- Pavalchik: LOS = 10/20 - 9/26 = 24 days
- Walters: LOS = 10/20 - 9/30 = 20 days
To calculate the Total LOS for surgery service patients, we add up the LOS for each of these patients: Total LOS for surgery service patients = 32 + 15 + 24 + 20 = 91 days
E. Total LOS for obstetrics service patients = 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 8 days
F. 2 + 1 + 3 = 6the total LOS for patients 25 years of age and younger = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 days G. 38 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 46 day the total LOS for patients aged 26 to 40 years old is 46 days.
H. 15 + 19 + 19 = 53 days the total LOS for patients aged 41 to 55 years old is 53 days.
I. 32 + 22 + 24 + 20 = 98 days, the total LOS for patients aged 56 to 70 years old is 98 days
J. 32 + 22 + 46 + 10 = 110 days Therefore, the total LOS for patients over the age of 70 is 110 days.
K. (203 / 322) * 100 = 63.04% the percentage of days from the Medicine clinical service is approximately 63.04%.
Exercises 5.5
Questions 1.
In April, Community Hospital reported 923 discharge days for adults and children and 107
discharge days for newborns. During the month, 192 adults and children and 37 newborns were
discharged. Calculate the ALOS for adults and children for the month of April. Round to one decimal
place.
2.
Use the table in exercise 5.4 to calculate the ALOS using Excel for the following groups of
patients:
•
All patients
•
Medicine service patients
•
Surgery service patients
•
Obstetrics service patients
•
Patients 25 years of age and younger
•
Patients age 26 to 40 years old
•
Patients age 41 to 55 years old
•
Patients age 56 to 70 years old
•
Patients over age 70
•
3. Use the semiannual report below from University Medical Center to calculate the ALOS for
each service.Round to one decimal place.
Answers 1.
ALOS for adults and children: 923 / 192 = 4.8 days.the ALOS for adults and children at
Community Hospital in the month of April is 4.8 days,
2. A. Total ALOS = (32 + 38 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 46 + 15 + 1 + 49 + 19 + 3 + 24 + 20 + 19 + 10) / 15 Total
ALOS = 322 / 15 Total ALOS ≈ 21.47 days
B. Total ALOS (Medicine service) = (38 + 22 + 46 + 49 + 19 + 19 + 10) / 7Total ALOS (Medicine service) =
203 / 7 Total ALOS (Medicine service) ≈ 29 days
C.Total ALOS (Surgery service) = (32 + 15 + 24 + 20) / 4Total ALOS (Surgery service) = 91 / 4 Total ALOS
(Surgery service) ≈ 22.75 days
D. Total ALOS (Obstetrics service) = (2 + 2 + 1 + 3) / 4Total ALOS (Obstetrics service) = 8 / 4 Total ALOS
(Obstetrics service) = 2 days
E. Total ALOS (25 years and younger) = (2 + 1 + 3) / 3Total ALOS (25 years and younger) = 6 / 3
Total ALOS (25 years and younger) = 2 days
F. Total ALOS (26-40 years old) = (38 + 2 + 49) / 3Total ALOS (26-40 years old) = 89 / 3
Total ALOS (26-40 years old) = 29.67 days
E. otal ALOS (41-55 years old) = (15 + 19) / 2
Total ALOS (41-55 years old) = 34 / 2 Total ALOS (41-55 years old) = 17 days
G. Total ALOS (56-70 years old) = (32 + 22 + 24) / 3Total ALOS (56-70 years old) = 78 / 3 Total ALOS (56-
70 years old) ≈ 26 days
H. Total ALOS (56-70 years old) = (19 + 24 + 20 + 19) / 4Total ALOS (56-70 years old) = 82 / 4
Total ALOS (56-70 years old) = 20.5 days
I. 110 / 4 = 27.5 days the ALOS for patients over the age of 70 is approximately 27.5 days.
3.
Medicine: 61,400 / 12,280 = 5.0 days
- Surgery: 51,762 / 10,320 = 5.0 days
- Neurology: 68,320 / 12,464 = 5.5 days
- Oncology: 61,280 / 6,228 = 9.8 days
- Orthopedics: 20,624 / 4,906 = 4.2 days

- Rehabilitation: 48,250 / 1,926 = 25.1 days
- Urology: 2,698 / 678 = 4.0 days
- Psychiatry: 22,400 / 936 = 23.9 days
- Ophthalmology: 804 / 385 = 2.1 days
- Obstetrics/Gynecology: 8,820 / 3,528 = 2.5 days
- Pediatrics: 18,388 / 3,148 = 5.8 days
Therefore, the ALOS for each service at University Medical Center, rounded to one decimal place, is as
follows:
- Medicine: 5.0 days
- Surgery: 5.0 days
- Neurology: 5.5 days
- Oncology: 9.8 days
- Orthopedics: 4.2 days
- Rehabilitation: 25.1 days
