Definition:

Estimating future needs by looking at current patterns. Using data from the three most recent fiscal years, projections were made on how many beds (hospital or PCH) would be required in 2020 if the use patterns stay the same. The calculations were based on Manitoba Bureau of Statistic's projected changes in the numbers and the mix of people (by age/gender) expected to live in Manitoba in 2020.
