The HIM department listed the following LOS data for the longest admissions for the month of September. If patient A's LOS was 66, what is that percentile?

43, 45, 54, 55, 59, 60, 62, 64, 66, 67, 67, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70, 71, 72, 74, 75

Is LOS length of stay? What is HIM?

There are 20 patients and Patient A is ninth on the list. That would be the 42th percentile, if 100 is the highest score.

8/19 are lower and 12/19 are higher than 66.

To find the percentile for a given data point, you need to determine how many data points are lower than or equal to that value and then divide it by the total number of data points. Here is how you can find the percentile for patient A's Length of Stay (LOS) of 66:

1. Sort the data in ascending order: 43, 45, 54, 55, 59, 60, 62, 64, 66, 67, 67, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70, 71, 72, 74, 75

2. Count the number of data points that are lower than or equal to 66. In this case, there are 9 data points (43, 45, 54, 55, 59, 60, 62, 64, 66) that meet this criteria.

3. Divide the number of data points lower than or equal to patient A's LOS (9) by the total number of data points (20).

9 / 20 = 0.45

4. Multiply the result from step 3 by 100 to get the percentile.

0.45 * 100 = 45

Therefore, patient A's LOS of 66 is at the 45th percentile.
