This measurement has importance when CAP is a factor. It provides a truer picture of the overall mix of patients. It is NOT in the standard reporting of most patient management systems. The best way to obtain this measurement is via an export of a list of your current patients on census with each patient's respective SoC (Start-of-Care) date into Excel. Subtract the current date (today) from the SoC date in a separate column. Then use Excel's =Median (cell range) formula to calculate your Median LoS.
