This study evaluated the impact of length of stay reduction by discharge status in the hospitals of Syracuse, New York. It focused on the two largest inpatient services, adult medicine and adult surgery, between 2008 and 2018. In the Syracuse hospitals, the adult medicine mean length of stay declined by 0.12 days, resulting in a savings of 14,154 patient days during the ten year period. The adult surgery mean stays declined by 0.91 days, resulting in a savings of 22,639 patient days. The reductions in stays were accompanied by differences in utilization by discharge status. For discharges to self care, the changes in mean stays increased the number of days saved for adult medicine from 5111 to 13,264 and the number of days saved for adult surgery from 4355 to 13,862. These changes were brought about through internal efficiencies within the hospitals. For discharges to nursing homes, the reductions in stays caused the number of excess days to decline from 13,631 to 8695 for adult medicine and from 9150 to 5075 for adult surgery. These changes were brought about through cooperative efforts with long term care providers in the community.

The increase in computing capacity caused a rapid and sudden increase in the Operational expenses (OPEX) of data centers. OPEX reduction is a big concern and a key target in modern data centers. In this study, the scalability of the Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) power management technique is studied under multiple different workloads. The environment of this study is a 3-Tier data center. We conducted multiple experiments to find the impact of using DVFS on energy reduction under two scheduling techniques, namely: Round Robin and Green. We observed that the amount of energy reduction varies according to data center load. When the data center load increases, the energy reduction decreases. Experiments using Green scheduler showed around 83% decrease in power consumption when DVFS is enabled and DC is lightly loaded. In case the DC is fully loaded, in which case the servers’ CPUs are constantly busy with no idle time, the effect of DVFS decreases and stabilizes to less than 10%. Experiments using Round Robin scheduler showed less energy saving by DVFS, specifically, around 25% in light DC load and less than 5% in heavy DC load. In order to find the effect of task weight on energy consumption, a set of experiments were conducted through applying thin and fat tasks. A thin task has much less instructions compared to fat tasks. We observed, through the simulation, that the difference in power reduction between both types of tasks when using DVFS is less than 1%.

This study described Subacute and Complex Care Programs developed by the Syracuse hospitals to reduce the expenses of extended hospital stays. They focused on the movement of patients for services such as dialysis and complex care. These programs involved costs of approximately $7100 to $10,600 per patient compared with $12,600 to $25,000 per patient for extended stays in hospitals. The study also suggested that substantial savings were generated in the service area of the Syracuse hospitals by reducing inpatient adult medicine and adult surgery hospital rates. The annual savings for these services were substantial, $4,600,000 for 2017 when compared with 2011.
