Moderate Healthcare Utilization
Expressions activating this band describe active engagement with healthcare through admissions, outpatient visits, overnight stays, or repeated contact tied to a condition. The experience includes concrete use of hospital-based services and ongoing treatment-related encounters.
High Healthcare Utilization
Expressions activating this band describe substantial use of healthcare services marked by hospitalizations, multiple nights in hospital, repeated outpatient care, and treatment or check-ups across medical settings. The experience is one of intensive or recurrent formal care involvement.
