In healthcare delivery, Health services underutilization is a form of health care misuse which is defined as "excessive, under or unnecessary utilization of health services by patients or physicians."[1]
Therapeutic inertia

<math>\frac{h}{v} - \frac{c}{v}</math>
...where h is the number of visits with an uncontrolled condition, c is the number of visits in which a change was made, and v is the total number of visits[2].
