Figure 3 is a line graph showing the slope of the observed changes in the average length of stay in days per quarter from 2003 through 2011 and the projected number of total discharges for 2012 and 2013. The average length of medical-related hospital stays was the longest. They began at 4.9 days and were stable across time, ending at 4.7 in 2011. The projected average length of these hospital stays continues to be stable, ending at 4.6 days in 2013. The average length of surgical-related hospital stays began at 5.9 and was stable across time, ending at 5.5 in 2011. The projected average length of these hospital stays continues to be stable, ending at 5.5 in 2013. The average length of injury-related hospital stays began at 5.1 and was stable across time, ending at 4.9 in 2011. The projected average length of these hospital stays continues to be stable, ending at 4.8 in 2013. The average length of mental health-related hospital stays began at 7.5 and declined slightly across time, ending at 6.9 in 2011. The projected average length of these hospital stays is projected to continue a slight decline, ending at 6.8 in 2013. The average length of maternal and neonatal-related hospital stays was the shortest. They began at 3.1 and were stable across time, ending at 3.2 in 2011. The projected average length of these hospital stays continues to be stable, ending at 3.2 in 2013.
