Preview 1 out of 2 pages

This informatics-level knowledge activity introduces health informatics and Health Information Management (HIM) students to calculating and analyzing Average Length of Stay (ALOS) using EHR data and query tools. ALOS is a key indicator of hospital efficiency, calculated by dividing the total number of inpatient days by the number of admissions or discharges during a given period, excluding day cases . Students work through a scenario where their employer is assessing ALOS across multiple facilities—General Hospital, Hillside Pediatric, and Valley View Therapy—over the past 24 months . Participants use the EHR Go queries tool to extract relevant inpatient data and then analyze the results using pivot tables in Microsoft Excel, comparing findings to national averages . The activity requires constructing queries that utilize group functions with both AND and OR logical operators . Prerequisites include completion of Query – Basic Orientation (Informatics) and Query – Advanced Orientation (Informatics), and proficiency in Microsoft Excel is required . This activity is part of the HIM 400 curriculum and uses de-identified data from multiple healthcare facilities.
