Interventions to Decrease Hospital Length of Stay
Project Summary Title and Description
- Title
- Interventions to Decrease Hospital Length of Stay
- Description
- Technical Brief aimed to identify and synthesize current knowledge and emerging concepts regarding systematic strategies that hospitals and health systems can implement to reduce length of stay (LOS), with emphasis on medically complex or vulnerable patients at high-risk for prolonged LOS due to clinical, social, or economic barriers to timely discharge.
