Using a variety of data sources, this chart collection<\/a> examines the latest available data on how health services utilization has changed over the course of the pandemic.

It is likely that utilization of some services, particularly for non-COVID care, remains below expectations based on pre-pandemic trends.<\/p>\n The chart collection is available on the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker,<\/a> an online information hub dedicated to monitoring and assessing the performance of the U.S. health system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, many outpatient visits and elective hospitalizations were delayed, avoided, or cancelled, leading to a sharp decline in health care\u00a0utilization.
