Transcript

We think about length of stay in general as first a quality measure because it's really about access to care and then making sure that we're minimizing prolonged exposure in the hospital environment. So we'd like to think about length of stay as really a leading effort for quality and safety, but it also has direct financial impacts as you can imagine. And if we can reduce like the state where it's appropriate, we can serve more patients at a lower cost.
