Summary
Healthcare administrators working in hospitals, clinics, government agencies, and financial and insurance institutions must probe whether the healthcare services they provide are effective, efficient, and optimal. Health economists and data analysts invest time and effort to project the future performance of the healthcare services their institutions provide. These and related concerns could be answered by time series data analysis and forecasting. Hospital/clinic administrators, healthcare professionals, insurance agents, and patients all desire high-quality healthcare services utilizing a minimal amount of resources.
Developed and developing nations alike notice a percentage of their populations has inadequate health insurance coverage. Resources providers encounter restrictions that forbid financial support to underserved populations, including those with no health insurance coverage. Attempts have frequently been made to raise efficiency and cost-effectiveness in healthcare services. However, to achieve these goals, background knowledge and skill are essential and good understanding of forecasting methods can help healthcare administrators learn, apply, and utilize data to attain their goals. Every constituency involved in healthcare is aware of the necessity to improve the quality of healthcare services on a daily or a periodical basis.
