A Method for the Analysis and Prediction of Hospital Bed Requirements in Rural Areas.
Abstract
The report sets forth guidelines and a technique to determine future hospital bed requirements based on past usage and predicted population changes. Study regions are divided into areas defined by hospital locations and by clinical services offered by the hospitals. Hospital usage patterns are analyzed by means of a computer program. Future bed requirements are determined by multiplying present bed requirements and the ratio of future population to present population.
