Developing a patient flow visualization and prediction model using aggregated data for a healthcare network cluster in Southwest Ethiopia.

A health information system has been created to gather, aggregate, analyze, interpret, and utilize data collected from diverse sources. In Ethiopia, the most popular digital tools are the Electronic Community Health Information System and the District Health Information System. However, these systems lack capabilities like real-time interactive visualization and a data-driven engine for evidence-based insights.
