A multidisciplinary group from two medical floors at the Royal Victoria Hospital chose the Managed Care Appropriateness Program (MCAP) to evaluate the appropriateness of the days of stay for their patients. Of 100 charts of consecutive patients examined by the nurse reviewer (comprising 1,095 patient days), 33 percent of the days were deemed inappropriate. The reasons for each of these inappropriate days were documented, and strategies were implemented to address the issues. The major outcome of the study was a change in the culture of the health professionals to a more positive approach to defining and carrying out efficient patient care.
