Length of stay (LOS) is one of the most significant sources of avoidable cost and operational strain in hospitals today — yet many health systems struggle to address unwarranted variation in inpatient days in a clinically appropriate and sustainable way.

In this webinar, hospital leaders will hear how AdventHealth unlocked $24 million in systemwide value by addressing avoidable length of stay through tighter alignment between IT and care management, supported by coordinated changes to people, processes and technology. Our presenters will walk through the specific operational challenges AdventHealth faced, the governance and workflow changes they implemented, and how greater transparency across discharge processes helped ensure timely, appropriate post-acute placement and more predictable patient flow — without compromising patient care.

Attendees will gain practical, executive-level insights into how improving care coordination and discharge processes can reduce avoidable inpatient days and improve capacity — delivering meaningful financial and operational benefits without adding staff or compromising patient experience.  

The session will highlight the specific levers AdventHealth used to achieve a 9% improvement in length of stay, cut post-acute placement time in half, and improve systemwide patient flow across more than 50 hospitals. Executives and hospital leaders will leave with a clear understanding of what it takes to operationalize LOS improvements, how to quantify and measure the financial and operational impact, and how similar approaches can be applied within their own organizations.

Attendees Will Learn How To:

• Identify the highest-impact drivers of avoidable length of stay related to post-acute discharge delays.
• Align IT and care management teams to improve visibility, accountability and timely decision-making.  
• Translate LOS improvement into measurable financial impact and increased capacity for expanded access to care.  
• Apply a repeatable, system-ready approach to operationalizing care transition improvements and sustaining change at scale.
