Predicting hospital admittance
Navigating hospital admissions, especially in a children's hospital setting, is intricate. It involves meticulous consideration of factors such as ages, genders, and diagnoses to ensure that patients are appropriately accommodated. This continual process of moving patients to different rooms around the clock is essential for maintaining capacity while prioritizing the safety and well-being of both patients and their families.
