The hospital also has data for various treatment options such as the percentage of patients who received aspirin upon arrival and cardiac medication for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD). The data are shown below:
Develop a graphical interlinking model by drawing charts showing the LOS as a function of the other variables. What does the model tell you?
Year 2007 4.55 days 2008 2009 4.12 days 2010 4.02 days Average LOS Aspirin on arrival LVSD medicatioin 95% 98% 99% 100% 89% 93% 97% 99% 4.33 days
