Abstract

 

Background: In the context of any hospital institution, health administrators focus their efforts on knowing the future state of their areas, in order to minimize risks and make better decisions. Currently, organizations have focused on understanding and giving value to the data generated within their processes, through the use of optimization models and computational tools, in order to convert them into valuable information and find optimal and competitive solutions. Methods: 5 indicators were analyzed in a monthly institution. These were collected through files obtained in Microsoft EXCEL-2016 format from January 2004 to December 2018, later, 3 Multilayer Perceptron RNAs were modeled with the help of IBM SPSS version 19 software. Results: It is shown by the RNA that demand is the most important variable for the prediction of hospital beds, this with an importance of 63%, 45% and 51% for each RNA. Similarly, model 1 is presented with the most successful. On the other hand, the average length of stay is the least important variable to forecast. Conclusions: Through this study it was possible to show that the institution should give greater importance to factors such as demand and the bed spin indicator. These must be constantly managed within the administrative work of the institution.
