While a person in hospice is not expected to live more than six months, there is no expiration of his term under hospice care. It can last well over a year. And sometimes people go in and out of hospice care.

How do you calculate hospice average length of stay?

To calculate the hospice average length of stay (ALOS), you divide the total number of days all patients spent in hospice care by the number of patients served during that same period. For example, if 100 patients collectively spent 1,500 days in hospice, the ALOS would be 1,500 ÷ 100, resulting in an average of 15 days per patient. This metric helps assess the effectiveness and efficiency of hospice services.
