Length-of-Stay Approaches & Issues

Boosting admissions is an obvious way to grow your census, but increasing length-of-stay can be equally beneficial. There are two major methods to increase length-of-stay. First, remove internal barriers that cause admission delays. The second way is to cultivate referral sources that generate longer stays. Most hospices work the “middle” for referrals – hospitals, physicians, and skilled nursing facilities – which lead to short stays. There are a number of other referral segments that lead to greater length-of-stays. Personal care companies, faith-based groups, and senior living communities all provide hospices with the ability to work with patients and families. Learn more with this informative program.
