The natural environment affects human health. Health forecasts help professionals and patients know when and where there is a risk of illness. Through this understanding, preventative action can be taken and healthcare capacity (ie hospitals and doctors) managed to reduce illness and death. As of September 2005, there are two strands to the Health Forecasting project: 1. COPD Forecasts: Health forecasts are used to drive the provision of anticipatory care to COPD patients, helping to ensure patients with these long-term conditions achieve their potential for independence and wellbeing. 2. Hospital Admission Forecasts: Helping the NHS to predict fluctuations in workload across a set of clinical conditions. EXTERNAL LINKS |
