Abstract

Reductions in hospital lengths of stay (LOS) for patients with cardiovascular conditions can be a cost-effective in-hospital outcome, but the effect of shortened hospital LOS on patient and family outcomes after discharge needs to be evaluated. Suggestions for the use of appropriate data to evaluate LOS and outcomes that need study are presented.
