Hospitals have a strong month as volumes return to normal
Hospitals are seeing care patterns return to normal, with average length of stay and emergency department visits stabilizing in April 2024, according to the latest “National Hospital Flash Report” from Kaufman Hall.
The report analyzing data from more than 1,300 hospitals from Syntellis Performance Solutions showed a decrease in the average lengths of stay in April. Experts at the healthcare consulting firm suggest this signals a “return to normal care patterns and the establishment of stronger post-acute care transitions.”
