The General Hospital is a large medical facility that provides a wide range of healtheare services to the local community. The hospital has experienced significant growth in patient volume in recent years and is now struggling to manage the influx of patients effectively. The hospital administration is concerned that if they do not take proactive steps to address the issue, patient care could suffer, and they may lose business to competitors. As a result, they have decided to implement a forecasting system to predict patient volume accurately and plan resources accordingly. The hospital has collected data on patient volume over the past five years, including daily patient counts, the types of services provided, and patient demographics. The data is analyzed to identify trends and patterns that can help predict future patient volume. Based on the analysis, the hospital's forecasting team has identified several key statistics that they will use to develop their forecast model, including: Average daily patient volume: The average number of patients seen each day over the past five years. Seasonal index: The degree to which patient volume varies by season. For example, the summer months may have higher patient volumes due to vacation-related injuries and illnesses. Day-of-the-week index: The degree to which patient volume varies by the day of the week. For example, Mondays may have higher patient volumes due to patients postponing care over the weekend. Growth rate: The rate at which patient volume has been increasing over the past five years. Using these statistics, the forecasting team develops a model that considers historical patient volume, seasonal and day-of-the-week variations, and growth rates to predict future patient volume. The model generates a daily patient volume forecast for the next six months, which will allow the hospital to plan resources and staff accordingly. The hospital administration is pleased with the forecasting system's results and believes that it will help them better manage patient volume and improve patient care. However, they also recognize that the forecast model is only as good as the data it is based on and will continue to monitor patient volume trends and adjust the model as necessary to ensure its accuracy.
