  Key Concepts: 
  Maximum length of stay is a feature in the IS-H SAP for Healthcare system that allows healthcare providers to set a maximum length of stay for patients. This feature helps to ensure that patients are not overstaying their welcome and that they are receiving the appropriate care in a timely manner. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the maximum length of stay feature, healthcare providers must first set the maximum length of stay for each patient. This can be done by entering the patient's information into the system and then setting the maximum length of stay for that patient. Once this is done, the system will automatically alert healthcare providers when a patient has exceeded their maximum length of stay. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the maximum length of stay for a patient, it is important to consider their individual needs and circumstances. For example, if a patient has a chronic condition that requires ongoing care, it may be necessary to set a longer maximum length of stay than for other patients. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that the maximum length of stay should not be set too low, as this could lead to patients being discharged before they have received adequate care.
