In this case study, learn how a multi-hospital health system partnered with Optum Advisory to shift from reactive LOS management to a proactive, data-driven approach. 

By identifying high-risk patients earlier, aligning interdisciplinary teams and embedding LOS insights into daily workflows, the organization improved discharge planning and operational efficiency.
