You are responsible for calculating and reporting average length of stay (ALOS) for your hospital each month. This month, there were 92 discharges and the total discharge days equal 875. One of the patients discharged this month had a total of 428 discharge days, so the ALOS is distorted by this unusually long stay. In this situation, you should report an ALOS of

  1. 9.51 days; no further information is necessary.
  2. 9.61 days and make a note that the one patient with an unusually long LOS was subtracted prior to making the calculation.
  3. 4.86 days and make a note that one unusually long LOS was subtracted prior to making the calculation.
  4. 4.91 days and make a note that the data on one patient with an unusually long LOS was subtracted prior to making the calculation.
