This indicator shows the percentage of people who report having delayed or not received other medical care they felt they needed.
Why is this important?
Utilizing appropriate clinical and preventative services in a timely fashion can have important implications on the progression and treatment of many diseases. Individuals who receive services in a timely manner have greater opportunity to prevent disease or detect disease during earlier, treatable stages. A delay of necessary care can lead to an increased risk of complications.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the proportion of persons who are unable to obtain or delayed in obtaining necessary medical care to 5.9 percent. State: California
