This paper aims to describe a methodology to inform decisions about the optimal time to schedule reviews of a patient's hospital stay and to provide an example of its implementation.
Length of hospital stay was assessed in 1227 consecutive inpatient admissions. Data were transformed to reflect the probability of discharge from hospital in the following 7 days.
The resulting data reflected the points at which the conditional probability of being discharged were declining, revealing the potentially efficient times to conduct reviews of inpatient admissions.
The methodology outlined appears useful in assisting psychiatrists responsible for inpatient care to decide upon optimal times to review a patient's stay in hospital.
本文旨在描述一种方法，为确定患者住院复查的最佳时间提供决策依据，并给出其实施示例。
对1227例连续住院患者的住院时间进行评估。对数据进行转换，以反映接下来7天内出院的概率。
所得数据反映了出院条件概率下降的时间点，揭示了对住院患者进行复查的潜在有效时间。
所概述的方法似乎有助于负责住院治疗的精神科医生确定复查患者住院情况的最佳时间。
