  Children's Mercy Hospitals & Clinics reported Monday that outpatient and emergency room visits increased and that hospital stays decreased for the fiscal year that ended June 31.
  Total patient days at the system's two hospitals providing in-patient services -- Children's Mercy Hospital and Children's Mercy South -- were down 0.4 percent in fiscal 2005, to 67,125 from 67,384 in fiscal year 2004.
  "The decrease can be explained by the flu seasons," the system said in a written release. "2004's flu season was one for the record books, while 2005 was mild."
