Abstract

It is possible to forecast emergency admissions and bed requirements with considerable accuracy up to a year in advance. A model is being developed which would analyse the effects of weather, flu epidemics and different surges in demand. The discharge pattern of many hospitals indicates a rush to discharge by the weekend that could raise concerns about appropriate care.
