Applying our methodology with local LOS data will allow OR managers to estimate the number of patients on the elective OR schedule each day who will be hospitalized for longer than overnight, facilitating communication and decision-making with surgical departments when census considerations constrain the ability to run a full surgical schedule. The first summary measure compared was the percentage of patients previously undergoing the same 1 2 3 category of procedure as that scheduled whose hospital LOS was zero (i.e., ambulatory surgery) or one day (i.e., overnight stay) [1, 2] . In this study, we analyzed five years of data from a large teaching hospital to compare methods of estimating the percentages of cases with LOS of <2 days for each category of procedures.	./cache/cord-296739-ujsqshjg.txt	./txt/cord-296739-ujsqshjg.txt
