Abstract
In health and social care highly skewed consumption of expenditures are reported, where 10% of the population consume over 80% of the total care costs. This research aims to understand the high utilization of combined social and health services more profoundly and identify what should be taken into account when planning services for high utilizers. Varied demographic details and variations in the persistence suggest that efforts to curb high utilization should be diverse and specific towards thing they want to prevent. Finding feasible solutions for high use is a multidisciplinary task that requires timely use of information in a service delivery system that promotes proactivity.
