Pam is a healthcare administration leader for a large  network of hospitals and health service centers that is attempting to  predict future healthcare utilization at their centers over the next 5  years. She obtains data regarding patient use across the hospital  network and health service centers and projects forward over the next 5  years to determine which areas might experience continued growth. After  applying her time series model, she is able to demonstrate that, indeed,  the hospital network and health service centers will experience  significant growth. As she prepares to share her results and findings  with the board, she also considers advocating for the development of a  new regional health service center to fill one of the areas that will  experience the most growth according to her forecast projections.
