Abstract
A model in use in a primary care trust enables the prediction of acute admissions to hospital over a two-year period. The results show that the rise in emergency medical admissions threatens the local hospital's capacity to meet waiting-time targets for planned work. The research also showed that the establishment of a local diagnostic and treatment centre would reduce levels of occupancy in the acute hospitals to a level that could threaten its survival.
