Effects of EMR on Monthly ALOS Like the pre-DPC/PDPS period, the pre-EMR period also saw a negative trend in monthly ALOS, except for the age group of 50–64 years ( p = 0.4084) ( Table 3 ).

This study showed that introduction of an EMR system was associated with a sustainable reduction of LOS, while the DPC/PDPS was related to an increasing trend in LOS even though the level of LOS fell instantly post-DPC/PDPS implementation.
