Article Synopsis
- Efficient management of patient flow in emergency departments (EDs) is critical due to limited resources and increasing demand, prompting hospitals to focus on optimizing management strategies.
- This study aimed to create models for predicting daily patient visits to the emergency department in Lille, France, using time-series analysis to enhance resource allocation and planning.
- An ARIMA method was applied to historical data from 2012, demonstrating that time-series analysis can effectively forecast short-term emergency service demand.

Due to the existence of a wide diversity of heterogeneous systems, three essential factors are necessary to fully integrate a system: data, functions and workflow. However, most of the previous studies have dealt with only one or two of these factors and this makes the system integration unsatisfactory.
