One key component is weather temperature. Some seasonal maladies are tightly related to temperature, such as flu in cold weather or sunburn in hot weather. In this study, data from a hospital in Valencia was used to explore how harsh weather changes affect the emergency department, obtaining information about probable impacts of global warming effects in healthcare systems. Process mining techniques helped in the discovery of changes in the Emergency Departments. Some illnesses, such as heat stroke, are more prevalent during heatwaves, but more interestingly, the time to attend patients is also higher. Rapid changes in temperature are also analyzed through Process Mining techniques. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEmergencyHealthcare systemProcess miningWeather conditionsEmergency roomsGlobal warmingPatient treatmentCold weatherEmergency departmentsHealth-care systemHeat strokeHospital emergency departmentsProcess miningTemperature changesWeather changeData miningConference Object10.1007/978-3-030-72693-5_28406 LNBIP368379WOS:0012690749000282-s2.0-85107361150Q2
