Length of stay (LOS) is a data set that is calculated on a daily basis for the patient demographics in order for the facility to understand the capacity and ability to accept new inpatient cases. Depending on the job title, many different healthcareprofessionals view the data associated with LOS differently.

The data points that need to be collected in order to calculate LOS.
An explanation of why each data point is vital to the overall statistical result.
A mock dataset of patient data to show the board how LOS is calculated (to ensure full explanation of ideas).
