Total Knee Replacement Quality Measures
According to the most recent national data available from
the Healthcare
Cost and Utilization Project's (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample from the
Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the average length of stay (ALOS)
for total knee replacement was 4.0 days.
In 2006, St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center's average length of stay (ALOS) for total knee replacement was
3.53 days, which was better than the ALOS for total knee replacement in the
most recent HCUP data.
