Start with the department
Use available arrival and workflow data from the local setting.
DEMAND FORECASTING
Help your team prepare for the next busy period with a clearer view of what may be coming.

FROM REACTION TO PREPARATION
Forecasts can bring patterns into view. Pair them with the team and resources actually available, then decide what to do.
IN PRACTICE
A practical starting point to explore with your team.
Use available arrival and workflow data from the local setting.
Choose a planning window that matches a real staffing or capacity decision.
Keep a range of possibilities visible. A forecast is not a promise.
Compare forecasts with actual demand and improve the approach.
BUILD ON LOCAL EVIDENCE
Different departments face different patterns. Historical data quality and local workflow shape what can be predicted usefully.
A pilot should test forecast accuracy and whether the information helps people make a better operational decision.
