Background: Review of CCMC's length of stay (LOS) data revealed an opportunity to decrease the number of postoperative inpatient days for bariatric patients. Monthly LOS data retrieved from Premier's database allows us to benchmark ourselves and set goals for quality improvement. For calendar year 2016 the average LOS for RYGB was 2.23 days. When compared to Premier the O/E ratio was 1.52. Both patient populations had a LOS longer than like patients within the premier database.
