The LOS app displays key data elements that need to be addressed to reduce a patient's length of stay.

LOS stands for Length of Stay; LOS number in this app is displayed in decimal to tenths place to give user accurate count of the number of days the patient has been admitted.

Clinical Barriers are any barriers that prevent the clinician to discharge the patient. Example of Clinical barriers are:

Opioids taken within last 24 hours - if the patient has been given opioids then he/she cannot be discharged home without proper med management.

IV medications still being administered - if the patient is on IV Meds then can only be discharged to an SNF otherwise they cannot be discharged.

Abnormal lab tests within the last 24 hours - if the results for the labs drawn for the patient are abnormal then the patient can’t be discharged.

Peripheral devices in use - if the patient is on any of the devices (ex. Foley, Central line, Ventilator, Oxygen, etc.) then the devices have to be removed before the patient is discharged.

Tasks for Case Management are non clinical barriers for clinicians to discharge the patient. Examples of some of these barriers are: Patient needs transportation home, Patient needs a referral to see the specialist or Patient needs to see the nutritionist before discharge, etc.

View History button displays various user actions within the app and the time these actions occurred. These may be helpful to users who are interesting in knowing who is viewing the app or creating, editing, and completing barriers.

Refreshing the app merely reloads the app and can be used to view changes other users have made since you last opened the app.
