Understanding peak periods is essential for several reasons:
Resource Allocation: During peak periods, healthcare facilities may experience a surge in patient numbers, requiring additional resources such as staff, beds, and medical supplies. Intervention Timing: Timely interventions, such as vaccination campaigns or public health messaging, can be more effective if implemented just before or during the peak period. Predictive Modeling: Identifying patterns in peak periods helps in developing predictive models that can forecast future outbreaks.
