Preparing for the Baby Boomer Boom
Are Hospitals Ready to Meet the Needs of the Largest Demographic Entering the Healthcare System?
The average length of stay (ALOS) for people 65 and over is around five days. Longer ALOS costs hospitals more and can cause greater inefficiencies. However, older adults are more than twice as likely to require hospitalization and more complicated care from cardiologists, endocrinologists, and other specialists.
The average inpatient room rate is estimated to be $3,199 a day for an individual. That rate suggests extraordinarily high per-patient costs that hospitals must recoup.
