Overview

Health services utilization refers to the patterns and frequency with which people access healthcare, including visits to hospitals, clinics, and emergency services. Monitoring these trends provides valuable insights into community health, helping to identify areas with high demand for care, assess the effectiveness of health interventions, and ensure that resources are allocated where they are most needed. Understanding utilization patterns is essential for improving access to care and enhancing overall public health outcomes.
