Use these targets to benchmark state, regional LOS efficiency.
Data Library: New York State is the big loser in this month's column, which makes state-by-state comparisons of length-of-stay data compared to Milliman & Robertson's findings on the most efficient LOS. M & R's Index shows efficiency drops as you move east across the country, with the most extreme example being New York, where lengths of stay are 88% higher than the country's most efficient.
