(May 2015) </Td> </Tr> <P> The Andersen Healthcare Utilization Model - is a conceptual model aimed at demonstrating the factors that lead to the use of health services . According to the model, usage of health services (including inpatient care, physician visits, dental care etc .) is determined by three dynamics: predisposing factors, enabling factors, and need . Predisposing factors can be characteristics such as race, age, and health beliefs . For instance, an individual who believes health services are an effective treatment for an ailment is more likely to seek care . Examples of enabling factors could be family support, access to health insurance, one's community etc . Need represents both perceived and actual need for health care services . The original model was developed by Ronald M. Andersen, a health services professor at UCLA, in 1968 . The original model was expanded through numerous iterations and its most recent form models past the use of services to end at health outcomes and includes feedback loops . </P> <P> A major motivation for the development of the model was to offer measures of access . Andersen discusses four concepts within access that can be viewed through the conceptual framework . Potential access is the presence of enabling resources, allowing the individual to seek care if needed . Realized access is the actual use of care, shown as the outcome of interest in the earlier models . The Andersen framework also makes a distinction between equitable and inequitable access . Equitable access is driven by demographic characteristics and need whereas inequitable access is a result of social structure, health beliefs, and enabling resources . </P>
