This paper seeks to explain variations in acute inpatient length of stay in the National Health Service in England. A model is proposed in which the length of stay is allowed to vary according to patient characteristics, the local supply of NHS care, the local pressure on NHS resources, other non-NHS health care supply factors, and local policy effects. Length of stay data are obtained from the 1991/1992 Hospital Episode Statistics.

Acute inpatient length of stay for non-elective inter-hospital transfer (IHT) arrhythmia patients was reduced by 35% from admission to transfer..

The acute inpatient length of stay average was 11.9 days.

a significantly shorter acute inpatient length of stay.

Acute inpatient stays were the first to be converted to prospectively determined payment, beginning in fiscal year 1984.

The multiple episodes are dispersed across a complex range of service patterns, which makes
the cohorts available for similar episode patterns very small. For example, if a new episode
was to be defined as the acute inpatient stay plus the community treatment for a period after
discharge, then only potentially 2.6% of patients would be available from the study cohort
for possible casemix classification, accounting for 5.4% of expenditure.
