Abstract

This paper analyzes the trend and changes in outpatient volume at Lishui Central Hospital from 2020 to 2023 to provide scientific references for enhancing the quality of medical services. Data on hospital outpatient visits from January 2020 to December 2023 were gathered from the hospital's monthly workload statistics report and analyzed using the seasonal index method for time-series data. From 2020 to 2023, the number of outpatient visits showed an increasing trend, and the number of outpatient visits in 2023 is 1,777,291, which is 442,314 visits higher than the number of outpatient visits in 2020; the monthly seasonal index is the highest in December, which reaches 119.84%, and is in the "high season", and the lowest in February, which is 72.32%, and is in the "low season". The monthly seasonal index was highest in December at 119.84%, the "high season", and lowest in February at 72.32%, the "low season". By quarter, the seasonal indexes of the first and second quarters are less than 100%, and the seasonal indexes of the third and fourth quarters are more than 100%. Hospital outpatient volume is relatively stable, with an overall upward trend. In the day-to-day management of the hospital, the outpatient volume of "off-season" and "peak season" change characteristics, from strengthening the allocation of medical resources, improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, strengthening the medical safety, providing patients with better quality medical services, to meet the growing demand of medical and health care for people.
