• : FROM HOSPITAL
INFORMATION SYSTEM (HIS) “STAY IN HOSPITAL” DATA. ADD ALL
LENGTH OF STAY DAYS FOR EACH PATIENT IN ICU.

4. • THE ALOS REFERS TO THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT PATIENTS
SPEND IN HOSPITAL. IT IS GENERALLY MEASURED BY DIVIDING THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF DAYS STAYED BY ALL PATIENTS IN ICU DURING A MONTH BY THE NUMBER OF
ADMISSIONS OR DISCHARGES IN ICU IN THAT MONTH.
• TOTAL INPATIENT DAYS IN ICU
TOTAL NUMBER OF DISCHARGES IN THE MONTH
• : FROM HIS “STAY IN HOSPITAL” DATA. ADD

5. • IT IS THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS PRESENT DURING THE MONTH FOR MORE THAN
30 DAYS OF STAY IN ICU
• TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO STAY MORE THAN 30 DAYS IN ADULT ICU/MONTH

MANY PATIENTS STAYED 30 OR MORE DAYS IN ICU AND MULTIPLY BY NUMBER
OF BEDS IN ADULT ICU PER MONTH

NUMBER OF DISCHARGES (INCLUDING DEATHS) IN A GIVEN TIME PERIOD /
NUMBER OF BEDS IN THE HOSPITAL DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.
• TOTAL INPATIENT DISCHARGES/ MONTH
TOTAL NUMBER OF BEDS IN THE MONTH
• : FROM HIS “DISCHARGES” DATA.

8. • THE ALOS REFERS TO THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT PATIENTS
SPEND IN NICU. IT IS GENERALLY MEASURED BY DIVIDING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
DAYS STAYED BY ALL INPATIENTS DURING A MONTH BY THE NUMBER OF
ADMISSIONS OR DISCHARGES IN THAT MONTH IN NICU.
• TOTAL INPATIENT DAYS IN NICU
TOTAL NUMBER OF DISCHARGES IN THE MONTH
• : FROM HIS “STAY IN HOSPITAL” DATA. ADD
ALL INPATIENT DAYS FOR EACH PATIENT IN NICU AND DIVIDE WITH TOTAL NUMBER
OF DISCHARGES IN NICU FOR THAT MONTH

9. • THE ALOS REFERS TO THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT
PATIENTS SPEND IN HOSPITAL. IT IS GENERALLY MEASURED BY DIVIDING THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS STAYED BY ALL INPATIENTS DURING A YEAR BY THE
NUMBER OF ADMISSIONS OR DISCHARGES.
• TOTAL INPATIENT DAYS IN INPATIENT UNIT

30 DAYS OF STAY IN NICU
• TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO STAY MORE THAN 30 DAYS IN NICU/MONTH
TOTAL NUMBER OF BEDS AVAILABLE IN ICU /MONTH

OF BEDS IN NICU PER MONTH

11. TOTAL INPATIENT DISCHARGES IN A GIVEN MONTH
TOTAL NUMBER OF BEDS AVAILABLE IN HOSPITAL IN THE SAME MONTH
TOTAL INPATIENT DAYS IN INPATIENT UNIT IN A GIVEN MONTH
TOTAL NUMBER OF DISCHARGES IN THE HOSPITAL SAME MONTH
