Abstract

This paper investigates the application of predictive models in healthcare resource allocation, aiming to enhance efficiency and equity in the distribution of medical resources. The study delves into various predictive methodologies, including machine learning algorithms, regression analysis, and simulation models. By analyzing historical data and integrating real-world scenarios, the research evaluates the accuracy and reliability of these models in predicting patient demand, optimizing bed allocation, and forecasting healthcare resource needs. The findings suggest that predictive models can significantly improve healthcare resource allocation by providing valuable insights into future trends and resource requirements. Additionally, the study discusses the limitations of current predictive models and proposes potential solutions to enhance their performance. The integration of predictive analytics in healthcare management is further explored, emphasizing the necessity for tailored approaches and continuous improvement to adapt to evolving healthcare challenges.
