Formula:
To calculate key medical care indicators, we use the following formulas:
Average Length of Stay (ALOS) = Total Patient Days / Number of Discharges
Where:
- Total Patient Days: The sum of all inpatient days for a given period.
- Number of Discharges: The total number of patients discharged during the same period.
Readmission Rate = (Number of Readmissions / Number of Discharges) × 100%
Where:
- Number of Readmissions: The count of patients readmitted within a specified timeframe after discharge.
- Number of Discharges: The total number of patients discharged during the period.
