Algorithm for Forecasting the Number of Hospital Beds by Specialty Using Regression Equations.

Planning the hospital beds according to population needs is still in focus. To develop an algorithm for designing the number of beds hospital and specialty wards according to local needs. The present study was designed as a retrospective analysis based on hospital utilisation data, demographic data and morbidity recorded by GPs in J2 county, testing the variation in dependent variable (number of beds) due to independent variables, using linear regression analysis.
