A hospital discharge is defined as the release of a patient who has been admitted to an in-patient hospital unit and has stayed for at least one night. A person is discharged when treatment has been finalized, either to their home or to another healthcare facility, for further treatment or rehabilitation. Hospital stays which end due to individuals leaving against medical advice or by in-hospital deaths are also counted. Same-day discharges are excluded. The data covers all types of hospitals, including general hospitals, mental health hospitals and other specialized hospitals. A bed-day is counted as each overnight stay of an in-patient in hospitals (>=1 bed day). Average length of stay (ALOS) refers to the average number of days patients discharged from hospital have spent. ALOS is generally measured by dividing the total annual number of bed-days by the number of discharges or admissions during that same period. Same day discharges and outpatient visits are excluded. Psychiatric wards are wards that only provide treatment for patients with psychiatric disorders (excl. psychiatric nursing homes). Somatic wards are all other hospital wards.
