How do changes in disease incidence and prevalence translate into health care utilization patterns?
What will be an ideal response?
• Changes in disease incidence and prevalence will indicate the specific types of services demanded by the U.S. population (e.g., an increase in disease incidence will increase the use of preventive services specific to the disease, while an increase in prevalence will increase the use of treatment services specific to the disease).
• Disease patterns will also determine the types of pharmaceuticals and other interventions needed to treat these illnesses and the quantity of services that will be utilized.
