Selected
a high consultation rate
or "high rate of consultation" if that works better in your sentence.
"A high consultation rate, in combination with an appropriate health utilisation rate, is likely to be explained by under-staffing in the clinics."

I didn't offer any references for "índice de frecuentación", but it's definitely not an error and definitely means "consultation rate":

"El índice de frecuentación fue de 4,3 solicitudes/1.000 habitantes para el año 2006 y de 3,9 para el año 2007"

"The overall crude consultation rate rose from 3.9 consultations per patient-year in 1995 to 5.3 consultations per patient-year in 2006."
