Health Care Analysis Project: Solihull Care Trust Data, 2005-2011

This project aimed to develop a model of health care use, using the most appropriate econometric techniques. The first step was to model health care demand in the Solihull Primary Care Trust (PCT) (now Solihull NHS Care Trust) area as defined by GP visits, inpatient visits and outpatient visits. The next step was to make forecasts of demand based on a range of scenarios. The aim was to provide the Trust with a model that they could use to run their own bespoke demographic and lifestyle scenarios to calculate future changes demand for health services.
