Additionally, it analyzes a person's predictability of using preventive services. Many people receive routine healthcare from an emergency room. Using this resource as one's regular source of care incurs a considerably higher cost and contributes to longer waiting times. Additionally, it defeats the tenets of managed care continuity of care and appropriate use of resources.
