This page presents information on the operational performance of ACT public hospitals in the care provided to admitted patients.

Data highlights

Average length of stay for overnight patients

The length of stay in hospitals is an important indicator of efficiency. By reducing the average length of stay, hospitals are able to accept more new admissions and improve efficiency. Significant changes in the average length of stay over time may be related to changes in admission practices, changes in the types of treatments provided and clinical practices.
