What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of people that report having a usual place to go to when sick or when health advice is needed. |
| Why this is important: People with a usual source of care are more likely to go in for routine checkups and screenings, and are more likely to know where to go for treatment in acute situations. Not having a usual source of care or a usual place to go to when sick or in need of health advice can cause a delay of necessary care, leading to increased risk of complications. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to increase the proportion of people with a specific source of ongoing care to 95%. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 44 California counties and county groups. |
