WHAT DOES OVERUTILIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Unnecessary health care

Unnecessary health care is when medical services are provided with a higher volume or cost than is appropriate. In the United States, where health care costs are the highest as a percentage of GDP, overutilization is the predominant factor in its expense. Factors that drive overutilization include paying health care providers more to do more and covering patients' costs by a third-party payer. These factors leave both doctors and patients with no incentive to restrain health care prices or use. Similarly, overtreatments are unnecessary medical interventions. They could be medical services for a condition that causes no symptoms and will go away on its own, or intensive treatments for a condition that could be remedied with very limited treatment. Overdiagnosis, when patients are given a diagnosis that will cause no symptoms or harm, can lead to overtreatment.
