The present invention provides a method using a computer to estimate staffing required for a present patient population. The computer operates upon data related to various characteristics regarding the present patient population, such as age, sex, and physical ailment, along with data related to a representative past patient population having similar characteristics and resources allocated to that past patient population, including staffing levels, that were required to care for the past patient population. Using the past patient characteristics and associated allocated resources as a guide, models are created that describe the correlation between that past patient population and the allocated resources. Thereafter, the models are used to determine the staffing levels required to adequately care for the present patient population.
