Anticipating special events in Emergency Department forecasting
2022, International Journal of ForecastingCitation Excerpt :Some studies are descriptive in nature; others use time series analysis or regression to forecast ED attendance. Rotstein, et al. (1997), Sun, et al. (2009) and Kam, Sung, and Park (2010) analyse whether calendar seasons have an impact on ED visits. Sun, et al. (2009) show that Monday has the highest attendance in the week; however, Kam et al. (2010) conclude that it is Sunday.
Prediction of emergency department volume and severity during a novel virus pandemic: Experience from the COVID-19 pandemic

2017, Computers and Industrial EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Jones et al. (2008) evaluate several forecasting methods for emergency departments. Linear regression can also predict daily patient volume when based on calendar factors (Batal, Tench, McMillian, Adams, & Mehler, 2001; Holleman, Bowling, & Gathy, 1996; Rotstein et al., 1997). We use seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time series forecasting method to predict the hourly asset demand.
Emergency department imaging: are weather and calendar factors associated with imaging volume?
2016, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :In a Korean study, they speculated this to be due to closure of urgent-care clinics on Sundays in their region and patients coming to the ED instead.12 In an Israeli study, it was presumed to be due to the weekend in that country being Friday and Saturday, and Sunday being the first workday of the week (thereby making their Sunday similar to the high-volume Monday in other places).11 As a last example, two Asian studies demonstrated increased ED patient volume on holidays;15,16 however, studies from the USA, Brazil, and Israel demonstrated decreased holiday ED volumes.5,11,13–15
Medical Mondays: ED Utilization for Medicaid Recipients Depends on the Day of the Week, Season, and Holidays
2016, Journal of Emergency NursingCitation Excerpt :Our day of the week results are similar to associations reported in multiple other studies, in which day of the week is the most influential predictor of ED utilization.17 Studies in the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Brazil all support the finding that the first day of the workweek is also the highest ED utilization day.22,29–32 A single-site study was found that did not replicate these findings in Korea, where the highest ED volume was on Sunday.20
