dc.description.abstractThis work explores factors that affect the discharge time of patients from a private Nablus hospital, West Bank, State of Palestine. This study adopts a retrospective observational design with regression analysis and identifies age, patient condition, occurrence of complications, and type of care as key determinants for discharge times. Introduction and Background: The present research is undertaken to get an overview of the various factors that go with the discharge time of patients from a private hospital setup and contribute toward the better understanding of the process, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction. Methodology: This was an observational retrospective study with existing quantitative data culled from the electronic health records, management, and financial databases of the hospital. Regression analysis was used to predict the relationships between patient characteristics and times of discharge. Results: There were significant factors that influenced the time for discharge of patients as obtained by regression analysis. Major findings are: age, B = 0.077, p<0.001; patient's condition, B = 2.417, p = 0.016; occurrence of complications, B = 11.649, p<0.001; and type of care, p<0.001, all having a significant effect on the length of stay in the hospital. Conclusion: Timing of discharge remains one of the most critical areas for discharge process optimization and enhancing patient satisfaction. In this regard, the improvement of communication, streamlining the trajectories of care, and rendering priority to patient-centered care are recommended towards the attainment of these objectives.
