Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to generate computer simulations of patient loads for units of health care facilities. The system is configured to: obtain past patient census information for an individual unit of a health care facility, the past patient census information comprising a quantity of patient visits to the individual unit during past periods of time; determine intra-period variation and inter-period variation in the quantity of patient visits to the individual unit during the past periods of time; classify the individual unit based on the intra-period and inter-period variations; and generate a computer simulation of patient loads for the individual unit based on the classification. The computer-simulated patient loads comprise a quantity of patient visits to the individual unit during one or more future periods of time. The computer simulation is performed using a non-parametric simulation algorithm.
