Resumo(s)
We address the problem of an 8% increase in the number of emergency episodes at Hospital de Santa Maria in 2008. The novelty of the paper lies in using the ALERT database from the HSM to infer drivers of emergency affluence. A demand curve is estimated; along with other econometric models. Results show us that there is an upward trend in daily episodes. Moreover, population and health system features appear as the important drivers of changes in ER turnout.
