Abstract
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of hospital emergency department (ED) patient visits and acuity levels have potential to improve resource allocation including manpower planning and hospital bed allocation. Internet search data have been used in medical applications like disease pattern prediction and forecasting ED volume. Past studies have also found stock market price positively correlated with ED volume.
