Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

The final consensus conference for the Health Indicators project was held in 2009 During that conference a number of new priority areas were identified that are related to social determinants of health mental health health care outcomes child and youth health healthy environments and Aboriginal peoplesrsquo health7 In subsequent years indicators for many of these priority areas were developed in response to these emerging information needs (Figure 3)8ndash10

Health Indicators 2013

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

9

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

10

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

Health Indicators 2013

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Percutaneous coronary intervention Age-standardized rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed on patients in acute care hospitals same-day surgery facilities or catheterization laboratories per 100000 population age 20 and older In many cases PCI serves as a nonsurgical alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is undertaken for the purpose of opening obstructed coronary arteries The choice of revascularization mode (that is PCI or CABG) depends on numerous factors including severity of coronary artery disease physician preferences availability of services referral patterns and differences in population health and socio-economic status Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery Age-standardized rate of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed on inpatients in acute care hospitals per 100000 population age 20 and older As with other types of surgical procedures variations in CABG surgery rates can be attributed to numerous factors including differences in population demographics and health status physician practice patterns and availability of services In cases amenable to treatment with less invasive procedures percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) an alternative treatment to improve blood flow to the heart muscle may be used Variations in the extent to which PCI is utilized may result in variations in bypass surgery Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

Figure 4 Tailored Health System Performance Reporting

Public Reporting for the general public will focus on a limited set of comparable indicators that will be needed for transparency purposes

Regional and Provincial

Authorities

Reporting for this audience will include benchmarking reports and tools to support best practice and knowledge sharing among jurisdictions It will assist regional system managers and provincial policy-makers as they strive to be transparent improve performance and build capacity

Points of Care (hospitalslong-term care facilitiesprimaryhealth care centres)

Reporting for point-of-care managers is similar to that for regional and provincial authorities and will include enhanced drill-down capabilities in an integrated environment

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

Health Indicators 2013

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission The risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) Non-elective return to an acute care hospital for any cause is counted as a readmission if it occurs within 30 days of discharge from the index episode of inpatient care Readmission rates after AMI can be influenced by a variety of factors including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination and the availability of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic technologies during the initial hospital stay While not all urgent readmissions are avoidable interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates Note Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data this indicator was revised and is not comparable with the previously reported AMI readmission rates Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication to enable comparisons over time Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Community and Health System Characteristics

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Proportion of public sector Public-sector health expenditure presented as a proportion of total health expenditure Public sector includes health care spending by governments and government agencies Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Total health expenditure by use of funds Percentage distribution of total health expenditure by health-spending category Institutional services includes hospitals and residential care types of facilities that are approved funded or operated by provincialterritorial governments Professional services includes expenditures on primary professional fees paid to physicians in private practice as well as for the services of privately practising dentists denturists chiropractors and other health professionals This category does not include the remuneration of health professionals on the payrolls of hospitals or public-sector health agencies Physician expenditures generally represents amounts that flow through provincial medical care plans Drugs includes expenditures on prescribed drugs and non-prescribed products purchased in retail stores This category does not include drugs dispensed in hospitals and other institutions Public health is that provided by governments and governmental agencies and includes expenditures for items such as food and drug safety health inspections health promotion community mental health programs public health nursing measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and other related activities Capital and other health includes expenditure on construction machinery equipment and some software for hospitals clinics first-aid stations and residential care facilities (capital) the cost of providing health insurance programs by the government and private health insurance companies and all costs for the infrastructure to operate health departments (administration expenditures) and at the aggregate level expenditures on home care medical transportation (ambulances) hearing aids other appliances and prostheses health research and miscellaneous health care (other health) Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

9

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

10

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission The risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) Non-elective return to an acute care hospital for any cause is counted as a readmission if it occurs within 30 days of discharge from the index episode of inpatient care Readmission rates after AMI can be influenced by a variety of factors including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination and the availability of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic technologies during the initial hospital stay While not all urgent readmissions are avoidable interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates Note Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data this indicator was revised and is not comparable with the previously reported AMI readmission rates Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication to enable comparisons over time Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

9

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

Health Indicators 2013

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission The risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) Non-elective return to an acute care hospital for any cause is counted as a readmission if it occurs within 30 days of discharge from the index episode of inpatient care Readmission rates after AMI can be influenced by a variety of factors including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination and the availability of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic technologies during the initial hospital stay While not all urgent readmissions are avoidable interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates Note Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data this indicator was revised and is not comparable with the previously reported AMI readmission rates Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication to enable comparisons over time Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Community and Health System Characteristics

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Proportion of public sector Public-sector health expenditure presented as a proportion of total health expenditure Public sector includes health care spending by governments and government agencies Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Total health expenditure by use of funds Percentage distribution of total health expenditure by health-spending category Institutional services includes hospitals and residential care types of facilities that are approved funded or operated by provincialterritorial governments Professional services includes expenditures on primary professional fees paid to physicians in private practice as well as for the services of privately practising dentists denturists chiropractors and other health professionals This category does not include the remuneration of health professionals on the payrolls of hospitals or public-sector health agencies Physician expenditures generally represents amounts that flow through provincial medical care plans Drugs includes expenditures on prescribed drugs and non-prescribed products purchased in retail stores This category does not include drugs dispensed in hospitals and other institutions Public health is that provided by governments and governmental agencies and includes expenditures for items such as food and drug safety health inspections health promotion community mental health programs public health nursing measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and other related activities Capital and other health includes expenditure on construction machinery equipment and some software for hospitals clinics first-aid stations and residential care facilities (capital) the cost of providing health insurance programs by the government and private health insurance companies and all costs for the infrastructure to operate health departments (administration expenditures) and at the aggregate level expenditures on home care medical transportation (ambulances) hearing aids other appliances and prostheses health research and miscellaneous health care (other health) Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Percutaneous coronary intervention Age-standardized rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed on patients in acute care hospitals same-day surgery facilities or catheterization laboratories per 100000 population age 20 and older In many cases PCI serves as a nonsurgical alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is undertaken for the purpose of opening obstructed coronary arteries The choice of revascularization mode (that is PCI or CABG) depends on numerous factors including severity of coronary artery disease physician preferences availability of services referral patterns and differences in population health and socio-economic status Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery Age-standardized rate of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed on inpatients in acute care hospitals per 100000 population age 20 and older As with other types of surgical procedures variations in CABG surgery rates can be attributed to numerous factors including differences in population demographics and health status physician practice patterns and availability of services In cases amenable to treatment with less invasive procedures percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) an alternative treatment to improve blood flow to the heart muscle may be used Variations in the extent to which PCI is utilized may result in variations in bypass surgery Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

Figure 4 Tailored Health System Performance Reporting

Public Reporting for the general public will focus on a limited set of comparable indicators that will be needed for transparency purposes

Regional and Provincial

Authorities

Reporting for this audience will include benchmarking reports and tools to support best practice and knowledge sharing among jurisdictions It will assist regional system managers and provincial policy-makers as they strive to be transparent improve performance and build capacity

Points of Care (hospitalslong-term care facilitiesprimaryhealth care centres)

Reporting for point-of-care managers is similar to that for regional and provincial authorities and will include enhanced drill-down capabilities in an integrated environment

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

Health Indicators 2013

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Health Indicators 2013

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission The risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) Non-elective return to an acute care hospital for any cause is counted as a readmission if it occurs within 30 days of discharge from the index episode of inpatient care Readmission rates after AMI can be influenced by a variety of factors including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination and the availability of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic technologies during the initial hospital stay While not all urgent readmissions are avoidable interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates Note Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data this indicator was revised and is not comparable with the previously reported AMI readmission rates Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication to enable comparisons over time Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Community and Health System Characteristics

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Proportion of public sector Public-sector health expenditure presented as a proportion of total health expenditure Public sector includes health care spending by governments and government agencies Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Total health expenditure by use of funds Percentage distribution of total health expenditure by health-spending category Institutional services includes hospitals and residential care types of facilities that are approved funded or operated by provincialterritorial governments Professional services includes expenditures on primary professional fees paid to physicians in private practice as well as for the services of privately practising dentists denturists chiropractors and other health professionals This category does not include the remuneration of health professionals on the payrolls of hospitals or public-sector health agencies Physician expenditures generally represents amounts that flow through provincial medical care plans Drugs includes expenditures on prescribed drugs and non-prescribed products purchased in retail stores This category does not include drugs dispensed in hospitals and other institutions Public health is that provided by governments and governmental agencies and includes expenditures for items such as food and drug safety health inspections health promotion community mental health programs public health nursing measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and other related activities Capital and other health includes expenditure on construction machinery equipment and some software for hospitals clinics first-aid stations and residential care facilities (capital) the cost of providing health insurance programs by the government and private health insurance companies and all costs for the infrastructure to operate health departments (administration expenditures) and at the aggregate level expenditures on home care medical transportation (ambulances) hearing aids other appliances and prostheses health research and miscellaneous health care (other health) Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

Health Indicators 2013

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

12

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Percutaneous coronary intervention Age-standardized rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed on patients in acute care hospitals same-day surgery facilities or catheterization laboratories per 100000 population age 20 and older In many cases PCI serves as a nonsurgical alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is undertaken for the purpose of opening obstructed coronary arteries The choice of revascularization mode (that is PCI or CABG) depends on numerous factors including severity of coronary artery disease physician preferences availability of services referral patterns and differences in population health and socio-economic status Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery Age-standardized rate of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed on inpatients in acute care hospitals per 100000 population age 20 and older As with other types of surgical procedures variations in CABG surgery rates can be attributed to numerous factors including differences in population demographics and health status physician practice patterns and availability of services In cases amenable to treatment with less invasive procedures percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) an alternative treatment to improve blood flow to the heart muscle may be used Variations in the extent to which PCI is utilized may result in variations in bypass surgery Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication

Executive Summary

Executive Summary Before Health Indicators moves to interactive digital reporting in the spring of 2014 this final report in the 14-year series presents the initial objectives of the CIHIndash Statistics Canada Health Indicators project and some accomplishments in reporting on the performance of the health system and on the health of Canadians

The report also introduces a new program of work that CIHI initiated to support Canadian jurisdictionsrsquo efforts to stimulate health system performance This new program provides structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting that is tailored to the information needs of different audiences and to the development of additional knowledge and capacities for performance improvement

Finally to provide some perspectives on the performance of the health system in Canada Health Indicators 2013 reports on 13 additional indicators by socio-economic status (SES) at national and provincial levels bull Hospitalized stroke event

bull Hospitalized hip fracture event

bull Wait time for hip fracture surgery

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction in-hospital mortality

bull 30-day stroke in-hospital mortality

bull Self-injury hospitalization

bull Ambulatory care sensitive conditions hospitalization

bull 30-day readmission for mental illness

bull 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull 30-day obstetric readmission

bull 30-day medical readmission

bull 30-day surgical readmission

bull 30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission

For these 13 indicators as well as the 2 reported by SES in previous reports (hospitalized acute myocardial infarction event rate and injury hospitalization rate) two summary measures of disparity are presented bull Disparity rate ratio which provides the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities

for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

bull Potential rate reduction which expressesmdashas a percentagemdashthe reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile

These summary measures appear to effectively highlight the range of disparities in health and health care and the potential effect of interventions aimed at reducing these disparities

x

Health Indicators 2013

The key findings derived from these new measures are the following bull Hospitalization rates for self-injury and for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (such

as diabetes heart failure and asthma) showed the highest potential rate reduction Rates for these indicators would be 27 and 32 lower respectively if all Canadians experienced the same rates as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods

bull An overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces showed that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 Among these provinces Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (potential rate reduction of 51)

bull For hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions examining the overall rates and the disparity measures by province highlighted that provinces that perform well overall may still have a significant potential for rate reduction related to health system disparities For example Ontariorsquos overall rate was significantly below the national average yet this province had the highest potential rate reduction at 36

This information will allow health system managers and policy-makers to take a closer look at disparities by SES across many dimensions of health and the health system and to provide information on the potential effects of interventions aimed at reducing disparities in health and health care

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

Introduction Introduction In early 1998 more than 500 health administrators researchers caregivers government officials health advocacy groups and consumers came together to identify Canadarsquos health information needs In response a national vision and an action plan for strengthening Canadarsquos health information system was developed1

The following priorities emerged from this conversation bull Obtain better information to track current and emerging health issues

bull Reach consensus on common data and technical standards so that the research community can more efficiently share comparable findings

bull Address fragmented or incomplete data

bull Improve the value of the analysis of the health information being captured

bull Disseminate health information more broadly to improve the health of Canadians and the performance of their health system1

The national vision and the associated plan were endorsed by ministers of health across the country at all levels and were subsequently called the Health Information Roadmap Initiative Soon after the 1999 federal budget identified specific priority projects in the health information field An overall investment of $90 million over three years was earmarked to implement the related work plan1

At the time Canadarsquos total spending on health care was more than $80 billion a yearmdashthis rose to an estimated $2074 billion in 20122mdashbut little information existed to really understand the quality of health care services delivered to Canadians or overall health system performance Some argue that this problem still exists3 Yet over the past 15 years there has been substantial progress in measuring and monitoring the performance of the health system and the health of Canadians

Through the Health Information Roadmap Initiative1 and the Health Indicators project Statistics Canada and CIHI have delivered more pan-Canadian information than ever before In addition provincial organizations such as health quality councils and pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Health Council of Canada have stimulated conversations about how the health system performs and how healthy Canadians are As a result Canadian provinces and territories now share a more robust understanding of the performance of their health systems and of the health of their citizens

Health Indicators 2013

The Health Indicators project is now releasing its final annual report in the current format it will move to an electronic interactive reporting format in 2014 with more frequent reporting for some of the performance indicators This evolution is an opportunity to reflect on progress made in Canada in developing pan-Canadian indicators since 1999 and to present new ways in which we can use the high-quality performance information available to support more meaningful performance improvement efforts in Canadian jurisdictions While the large amount of performance information available means it can be challenging to use4 efforts to align performance measurement with the improvement priorities of jurisdictions will create a practical platform for evidence-based decision-making that supports health system performance improvement in Canada

Reporting on Health System Performance and the Health of Canadians The Foundation The Health Indicators project began in 1999 as a pan-Canadian health information reporting initiative co-led by CIHI and Statistics Canada1 At the time of the Health Information Roadmap Initiative a growing demand to provide Canadians with the ability to make better-informed decisions coupled with improving data technology was changing the landscape of health information reporting in Canada1 Informed by a large-scale consultation the report Health Information Roadmap Responding to Needs highlighted the need for pan-Canadian health system reporting that was secure and that respected Canadiansrsquo privacy but that was also consistent relevant flexible integrated user-friendly and accessible (Figure 1)1

Responding to this need the scope of the Health Indicators project was to identify develop and report on a set of performance indicators primarily at the regional level with the purpose of informing the following questions bull How healthy is the health system

bull How healthy are Canadians

Goal Identify and report on a set of indicators reflecting the health of Canadians and the health system

Setting Priorities for Indicator Development and Reporting The 1999 National Consensus Conference on Population Health Indicators was the first of three consultations to prioritize and select indicators for immediate and future development (Figure 2)5ndash7 To achieve this participants used the CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework (see page xi) as a conceptual guide to identify important dimensions of health and health system performance for indicator development Over the course of the project key priorities were to continue to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and to develop relevant indicators for reporting at the regional level In addition to the large-scale consensus conferences advisory groups were set up to guide the technical development of new indicators Regional and provincial contacts were also consulted on emerging indicator methodology and reporting As shown in Figure 2 major developments over the course of the project included expanding the suite of indicators providing more in-depth analysis on priority topics and improving access to indicator results through online applications8ndash14

Leveraging Public Reporting on Health System Performance The Need to Reposition Health System Performance Reporting in CanadaDespite remarkable progress in developing new comparable standardized pan-Canadian performance indicators that reflect the health of Canadians and the performance of the health system performance measurement in Canada is still largely under construction

At a pan-Canadian level the Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and make annual public reports on the implementation of the 2003 Health Accord15 and CIHI is mandated to lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive and integrated health information that enables sound policy and effective health system management At a provincial level several health (quality) councils have been established in recent years (in New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia) with a mandate to report to the public on health system performance16ndash21 Other initiatives in Canada and internationally complicate this landscape even more the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The Commonwealth Fund release comparative performance indicators every year or every other year22ndash24 pan-Canadian organizations such as the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer release performance reports on parts of the system25 and other national and international organizations release their own performance reports This large number of organizations reporting concurrently and in an uncoordinated fashion on health system performance at various levels has led to confusion for health system decision-makers and Canadians alike All of these factors have contributed to what many stakeholders in Canada are describing as a state of indicator chaos

Cross-country consultations recently conducted by CIHI with health care system managers suggest that there is a need tobull Clarify and better position health system performance public reporting in Canada andbull Ensure that reporting supports the performance improvement efforts of jurisdictions

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

As a leading source of reliable comparable and timely health information in Canada CIHI has initiated a three-year plan to strengthen its work on pan-Canadian health system performance reporting to better support jurisdictional efforts to improve care and the health of Canadians Specifically the objectives of this work are to bull Provide structured and coordinated pan-Canadian reporting on health system

performance that is tailored to the information needs of different audiencesincluding the general public provincial health ministries regional health authoritiesand health care facilities (Figure 4)

bull Produce analytical tools and products that support provincial and territorial healthsystem improvement priorities

bull Work with our partners in the health system to build capacity for using andunderstanding performance measurement and analytical tools and

bull Reduce indicator chaos in the health system by working with our partners to identifywhich health indicators are most important how they relate to each other and howthey can best support improvements to health care and the health of Canadians

Did You Know This initiative builds on more than 10 years of work and experience at CIHI in reporting on health system performance that includes

bull The development of a well-established set of comparable pan-Canadian health indicators aligned withinternational standards

bull The development with Statistics Canada of a Health Indicator Framework that is internationally recognized

bull Research in priority themes related to health system performance in Canada such as quality of carepatient safety and health system efficiency and

bull Business intelligence and interactive web tools such as the Canadian Hospital Reporting Project that allowhealth system managers to track performance over time view peer group comparisons and identify areasfor improvement through drill-down capabilities

CIHIrsquos Initiative in More DetailAddressing the Reporting Needs of Multiple Audiences Different audiences are interested in different aspects of health system performance and require different levels of reporting (Figure 4) A teaching hospital for example may require detailed information to pinpoint which surgical programs and care processes require improvements whereas a provincial policy-maker may need to see performance trends at a higher level to understand which parts of the system are working well and which could be improved As users and funders of the health care system Canadians also have a vested interest in health system performance and want to know whether they are receiving good care relative to the public expense of providing it

Figure 4 Tailored Health System Performance Reporting

Public Reporting for the general public will focus on a limited set of comparable indicators that will be needed for transparency purposes

Regional and Provincial

Authorities

Reporting for this audience will include benchmarking reports and tools to support best practice and knowledge sharing among jurisdictions It will assist regional system managers and provincial policy-makers as they strive to be transparent improve performance and build capacity

Points of Care (hospitalslong-term care facilitiesprimaryhealth care centres)

Reporting for point-of-care managers is similar to that for regional and provincial authorities and will include enhanced drill-down capabilities in an integrated environment

In Focus Health System Performance Reporting

New Information to Meet Evolving Needs

Until recently health system performance reporting focused primarily on the acute care (hospital) sector This focus stemmed from the high proportion of the health budget spent in the acute care sector (a projected 29 nationally in 2012)2 Additionally acute care databases are the most comprehensive data source compared with those for other health sectors in Canada As such they have greater potential to be used to develop important relevant indicators

However the situation has started to change in the past few years with a rising demand for quality data sources in other key health care sectors This has led to greater investment in data sources for primary care palliative care home and community-based care and patientsrsquo experiences As these data sources develop they will make it possible to paint a more complete picture of the health care system and patientsrsquo experiences overall and across the continuum of care Along with these investments in more information the notion that Canada needs a true health system perspective on performance has become more prevalent and priority-setting for indicator development should reflect this

Less Indicator Chaos A national summit of measurement experts agreed that indicator chaos was a symptom of increasing commitment to improvement and measurement that yet lacks coordinated priorities and planning26 A pan-Canadian repository of health system performance indicators with definitions and characteristics of each indicator summarized in a standard template can help to consolidate and standardize definitions and methodologies This will help cut through the chaos by reducing duplication In addition plans to develop new indicators and retire indicators that are no longer useful are needed This planning has two benefits it will help the health system stay focused on important measures and it will reduce the burden of producing and reporting on ones that are not

Health Indicators 2013

Enhanced Analytical Tools to Understand Performance Drivers Information about performance must be timely and it must be delivered in a way that allows health system managers and care providers to clearly understand and explore their performance results so they can focus their improvement efforts in priority areas For example clinicians may want to understand why their facilities have high readmission rates They should be able to break those rates down by service area such as medicine surgery pediatrics and obstetrics They should further be able to delve into results by major diagnosis groups (for example heart attack and stroke readmissions) the urgency of the initial admission (whether it was elective) sex and age They should even know which specific cases resulted in urgent readmissions The more they can analyze granular data while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality of that data the more effective their improvement efforts can be

More Capacity to Use Performance Information to Improve Results Health system decision-makers managers and analysts must have the skills competencies and abilities to use performance management data While many organizations have been leading the way in this regard building their own capacities to support skill development we need to ensure that those responsible for performance improvement have access to the precise information proven to deliver results and understand how it can be used Capacity-building activities that meet the varying needs of stakeholders are crucial to realizing an enhanced vision of health system performance reporting beyond 2013

Health Indicators 2013

A Health System Performance Framework to Support Performance Improvement Why a New Health System Performance Framework The 1999 CIHIndashStatistics Canada Health Indicator Framework for classifying health indicators is well-accepted nationally and is recognized internationally Still to support health system performance reporting and performance improvement a framework that goes beyond classification is neededmdashone that identifies specific paths for improvement

Building on the 1999 framework CIHI in consultation with performance experts developed a dynamic framework that can support jurisdictional priorities for improvement The new framework reflects developments in the area since 1999 incorporating the recent emphasis that end users and governments have placed on value for money patient safety and patient-centredness

The World Health Organization in 2000 defined a health system as ldquoall the activities whose primary purpose is to promote restore or maintain healthrdquo27 Simply put the goal of the health system is to improve the health of the population28 Thus this framework includes services provided to individuals and groups as well as public health services and policies It illustrates how performance can be measured across various dimensions in the system and how these are related to the systemrsquos ultimate outcome goals

Description of the New Health System Performance Framework This new framework (Figure 5) has four inter-related quadrants health system outcomes social determinants of health health system outputs and health system inputs and characteristics Each quadrant contains different dimensions of performance with the dimension of equity spanning a number of these dimensions The four quadrants sit within a demographic political economic and cultural context This contextual environment influences the relationships among the dimensions of each quadrant and also the way they interact with each other An assessment of how well the health system achieves its intermediate and ultimate goals is incomplete if it does not consider all performance dimensions and contextual elements included in this framework

By mapping expected relationships across dimensions and quadrants the framework can explain performance and help us understand the potential links between system transformations and improvements sought in outcomes

Health Indicators 2013

ConclusionIn the health sector numerous countries are releasing annual performance reports with an increased emphasis on outcomes and value for money bull In unitary systems provisions for public reporting include annual quality accountsfor all health care organizations in England and annual reporting on health systemperformance in the Netherlands including international comparisons29 30

bull In federal systems the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the UnitedStates mandates quarterly public reporting of performance information by institutionsthat care for Medicare patients while in Australia new legislation passed in 2010mandates quarterly and annual reporting on health system performance31 32

In Canada substantial progress has been made in reporting on health system performance and on the health of Canadians in a way that allows pan-Canadian comparisons to be made and that supports the efforts of Canadian jurisdictions to improve the performance of their health systems The work CIHI has undertaken with a range of partners in the health system aims to do just that further enable the health system performance improvement efforts of policy-makers regional health authorities facility managers and clinicians This work includes producing metrics and reports tailored to many audiences and providing information that allows stakeholders to assess the performance of the system including patient experiences across all sectors It is an initiative supported by a health system performance reporting framework that can help all Canadians understand the value that their health system delivers to them

Whatrsquos New in This Report

Building on Priority Areas Disparities Within the Health System Improved population health and health equity are strategic priorities for many regional health authorities across Canada33 34 To support their efforts to address health system disparities indicators reported by socio-economic status (SES) are necessary and add useful information to the existing body of knowledge generated through the typical reporting of indicators by age or sex only In 2010 the Health Indicators project began reporting indicators of heart attack event rates and injury hospitalizations by SES at the national and provincial levels and provided summary measures to help quantify the impact of SES disparity8ndash10 Please see the methodology box on page 21 for more information

In this final edition of the Health Indicators annual report an additional 13 indicators are reported by SES at the national and provincial levels Reporting these indicators by SES highlights that considerable health system disparities exist For example the highest potentials for rate reduction (that is if all Canadians experienced the same rate as those living in the most affluent neighbourhoods) were for hospitalizations for self-injury (27 reduction) and ambulatory care sensitive conditions (32 reduction) (Figure 6) Providing this type of information on an ongoing basis will allow jurisdictions to take a closer look at disparities by SES across the many dimensions of health of their particular populations and their health systems

Neighbourhood Income Quintile

Methodology

Neighbourhood Income Quintile as a Measure of Socio-Economic StatusNeighbourhood income quintile is a useful method to group people by SES and to identify related disparities within the health system Research has demonstrated correlations between place of residence and social determinants of health such as income education crime rate quality of community services and unemployment to name a few35ndash42 This measure is easily accessible as it is based on the patientrsquos place of residence (postal code) whereas SES factors such as income are not readily available at the individual level in administrative health databases35ndash42 A limitation of this measure is that people with a missing or invalid postal code and those living in institutions are not assigned a neighbourhood income quintile and therefore are not included in the summary measures of disparity

Neighbourhood income quintiles categorize small geographic areas into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to methods developed by Statistics Canada

For a more detailed description of this methodology please see the appendix on page 29

Summary Measures of Disparity Two summary measures can be used to capture the magnitude of health disparities in a single number The main difference between the measures is that potential rate reduction takes into account not only information from the most and least affluent groups but also from the second third and fourth income quintiles

Disparity rate ratio Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparities for a health indicator when comparing the least affluent to the most affluent group in a jurisdiction

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile expressed as a percentage

Indicator Rates Applying the Disparity Lens to Provincial Indicator RatesAn overall comparison of self-injury hospitalization rates across the provinces shows that rates were significantly higher than the national average in British Columbia Saskatchewan New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011ndash2012 (Figure 7) By further unpacking these rates through the lens of SES-related disparities however a more nuanced story emerges showing that SES does not have the same effect across provinces Here we see that among the provinces with the highest overall self-injury rates Saskatchewan had the highest potential for rate reduction by addressing SES-related disparities (PRR of 51)

Figure 8 provides a similar picture for hospitalizations related to ambulatory care sensitive conditions across provinces while the rates of hospitalization for these conditions were significantly lower than the national average in Ontario British Columbia and Quebec these provinces had potential rate reductions of at least 30

As illustrated in these examples SES-disparity summary measures can act as screening tools to identify differences over time or between jurisdictions but like other health indicators they cannot tell you why these differences exist Health indicators are intended to further our understanding of the health of Canadians how the health care system works and what requires further improvement They can also be used to inform health policy manage the health care system enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of heath and identify gaps in health status and outcomes for specific populations10 The addition of 13 indicators reported by SES should raise new questions and highlight areas for future health system performance improvement

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile

AppendixmdashDefining Neighbourhood Income Quintile to Measure Disparity Assigning Patients to Neighbourhood Income Quintiles Each patient was assigned to a neighbourhood income quintile using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+)1 This software links six-character postal codes to standard Canadian census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas census tracts and census subdivisions) By linking postal codes to census geography the file facilitates extraction of the relevant census information (for example income) for each geographic area

The dissemination area (DA) is the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the Canadian census with a targeted population size of 400 to 700 persons2 Using PCCF+ (Version 5J)3 the postal code of the patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the corresponding 2006 Census DA and the neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

In the PCCF+ for postal codes that map to more than one DA probabilistic assignment based on population size is used meaning that the same postal code can be mapped to a different DA if the program is run more than once To ensure that the same patient with the same postal code was always assigned to the same DA a unique combination of encrypted health card number birthdate and postal code was assigned to the same DA

Construction of Income Quintiles for Dissemination AreasThe neighbourhood income quintiles available in the PCCF+ were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada4 A short description of the method is provided below

Neighbourhood income quintiles were based on the average income per single-person equivalent in a DA which was obtained from the 2006 Census This measure uses the person weights implicit in the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs to derive ldquosingle-person equivalentrdquo multipliers for each household size3 For example a single-person household received a multiplier of 10 a two-person household received a multiplier of 124 and a three-person household received a multiplier of 153 To calculate average income per single-person equivalent for each DA the total income of the dissemination area was divided by the total number of single-person equivalents Income quintile for DAs with a household population of less than 250 was imputed based on the neighbouring DAs (where possible) because census data on income for these DAs was suppressed

30

Health Indicators 2013

Next quintiles of population by neighbourhood income were constructed separately for each census metropolitan area census agglomeration or residual area within each province DAs within each such area were ranked from the lowest average income per single-person equivalent to the highest and DAs were assigned to five groups such that each group contained approximately one-fifth of the total non-institutional population of each area The quintile data was then pooled across the areas Quintiles were constructed within each area before aggregating to the national or provincial level to minimize the potential effect of the differences in income housing and other living costs across different areas in the country

LimitationsNeighbourhood income quintiles derived from linking postal codes to the census are less accurate in rural areas because rural postal codes cover larger geographical areas Another limitation is that the measure excludes people living in long-term care facilities because income data from the 2006 Canadian Census is available only for non-institutional residents As a result not all people can be included in the rates by neighbourhood income quintile

Health Indicators 2013

Health indicators are standardized measures of various aspects of health and health care that can be used to monitor the health status of the population and the performance and characteristics of the health system over time and across the country As in previous years the Health Indicators annual report provides up-to-date comparable information for health regions and provinces and territories This information can be used by jurisdictions to evaluate progress and identify areas for improvement

Therersquos More on the Web CIHI and Statistics Canada jointly produce and maintain the Health Indicators e-publication This free web-based product provides data for a broad range of health indicators from both CIHI and Statistics Canada in one integrated online publication This interactive online resource provides easy access to the most recent health indicator results as well as to data for all available years maps technical notes and other important information

Health Indicators e-publication to find more information on the latest readings on the health of Canadiansmdashregion by regionmdashplease visit wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca

What Are Health RegionsHealth regions are administrative bodies legislated by the provincial ministries of health They are defined by geographical areas and are responsible for providing health services to their residents The role of health regions in determining how resources are allocated and their relationship with local hospitals vary by province

For this report data is provided for all regions with a population of at least 50000 In addition data for the smaller regions as well as for Nova Scotia zones and Ontario public health units is included in the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihicaindicators or wwwstatcangcca) Please see page 98 for a map of all the health regions in Canada

Interpreting the IndicatorsHealth indicators are reported based on where a patient lives not where he or she was hospitalized Consequently these figures reflect the experience of residents of a region regardless of where they were treated even if it was outside their own province rather than showing the activity of hospitals in a given region Confidence intervals are provided for most indicators to aid interpretation The width of the confidence interval illustrates the degree of variability associated with the rate Indicator values are estimated to be accurate within the upper and lower confidence interval 19 times out of 20 (95 confidence interval)

Hospitalized hip fracture event Age-standardized rate of new hip fractures admitted to an acute care hospital per 100000 population age 65 and older New event is defined as a first-ever hospitalization for hip fracture or a subsequent hip fracture occurring more than 28 days after the admission for the previous event in the reference period Hip fractures represent a significant health burden for seniors and for the health system As well as causing disability or death hip fracture may have a major effect on independence and quality of life This indicator is important for planning and evaluating preventive strategies allocating health resources and estimating costs Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Wait time for hip fracture surgery Proportion with surgery within 48 hours The risk-adjusted proportion of hip fractures that were surgically treated within 48 hours of a patientrsquos admission to hospital among patients age 65 and older While some hip fracture patients need medical treatment to stabilize their condition before surgery research suggests patients typically benefit from timely surgery in terms of reduced morbidity mortality pain and length of stay in hospital as well as improved rehabilitation This indicator is intended to provide a comparable measure of access to care across the country and to be used as a tool to identify opportunities for improvement using a national data source Note Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection the Canada rate does not include Quebec Source Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Age-standardized acute care hospitalization rate for conditions where appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for hospitalization per 100000 population younger than age 75 Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions are considered to be an indirect measure of access to appropriate primary health care While not all admissions for these conditions are avoidable appropriate ambulatory care could potentially prevent the onset of this type of illness or condition control an acute episodic illness or condition or manage a chronic disease or condition Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Caesarean section Proportion of women delivering babies in acute care hospitals by Caesarean section Caesarean section rates provide information on the frequency of surgical birth delivery relative to all modes of birth delivery Since unnecessary Caesarean section delivery increases maternal morbiditymortality and is associated with higher costs Caesarean section rates are often used to monitor clinical practices with an implicit assumption that lower rates indicate more appropriate as well as more efficient care Sources Discharge Abstract Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

30-day acute myocardial infarction readmission The risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) Non-elective return to an acute care hospital for any cause is counted as a readmission if it occurs within 30 days of discharge from the index episode of inpatient care Readmission rates after AMI can be influenced by a variety of factors including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination and the availability of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic technologies during the initial hospital stay While not all urgent readmissions are avoidable interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates Note Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data this indicator was revised and is not comparable with the previously reported AMI readmission rates Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication to enable comparisons over time Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Dagger Risk-adjusted rates () Q1 (Quintile 1) refers to the least-affluent neighbourhoods while Q5 (Quintile 5) refers to the most affluent

Neighbourhood income quintile Small geographic areas divided into five roughly equal population groups Quintile 1 refers to the least affluent neighbourhoods while quintile 5 refers to the most affluent The quintiles were constructed according to the methods developed at Statistics Canada

Disparity rate ratio (RR) Ratio of a health indicator rate for the least affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q1) to the rate for the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) It provides a summary measure of the magnitude of the socio-economic disparity for a health indicator in a jurisdiction It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the potential rate reduction The 95 confidence interval (CI) is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 1 RR indicates a statistically significant disparity between Q1 and Q5 rates within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Potential rate reduction (PRR) Reduction in a health indicator rate that would occur in the hypothetical scenario that each neighbourhood income group experienced the rate of the most affluent neighbourhood income quintile (Q5) expressed as a percentage This measure is based on the concept of the excess morbidity or mortality that could be prevented and provides a summary measure of the overall effect of socio-economic disparities on a health indicator It should be evaluated together with other measures such as the indicator rate for each neighbourhood income quintile as well as the disparity rate ratio The 95 CI is provided to assist interpretation When the 95 CI does not contain a value of 0 PRR indicates a statistically significant potential reduction in the overall indicator rate within the jurisdiction as indicated by the diamsdiams symbol

Inflowoutflow ratio A ratio of the number of discharges from relevant facilities (acute caresame-day surgery) within a given region divided by the number of discharges generated by residents of that region An overall ratio is calculated for discharges associated with any diagnosis or procedure for acute care discharges only and separately for hip replacement knee replacement hysterectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery procedures from all relevant facilities A ratio of less than one indicates that health care utilization by residents of a region exceeded care provided within that region suggesting an outflow effect A ratio greater than one indicates that care provided by a region exceeded the utilization by its residents suggesting an inflow effect A ratio of one indicates that care provided by a region is equivalent to the utilization by its residents suggesting that inflow and outflow activity if it exists at all is balanced A ratio of zero is an indication that none of the institutions in the region provided the service and residents received care outside of their region Note The PCI inflowoutflow ratios for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection Sources Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System Canadian Institute for Health Information Fichier des hospitalisations MED-EacuteCHO ministegravere de la Santeacute et des Services sociaux du Queacutebec

Community and Health System Characteristics

Health professionals Registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs) pharmacists (with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut) physiotherapists and occupational therapists rates reflect health professionals registered with active-practising status and who are employed in these health professions For other health professionals data reflects personnel regardless of employment status and includes the number of active registered dentists registered dental hygienists registered dietitians registered chiropractors active registered optometrists and active registered psychologists Notes Personnel-per-population rates are revised annually using the most recent Statistics Canada population estimates and therefore may differ slightly from previously published figures Rates may differ from data published by provincialterritorial regulatory authorities due to the CIHI collection processing and reporting methodology Please consult Canadarsquos Health Care Providers 1997 to 2011mdashA Reference Guide for more detailed methodological notes data quality issues and profession-specific information or contact us at hpdbcihica Sources Health Personnel Database Canadian Institute for Health Information Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Estimates March 201225(4) 91-002-X

Total health expenditure Total health expenditure includes any type of expenditure for which the primary objective is to improve or prevent the deterioration of health status Presented in current dollars and as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) This definition allows economic activities to be measured according to primary purpose and secondary effects Activities that are undertaken with the direct purpose of providing or maintaining health are included Other activities are not included even though they may impact health For example funds aligning with housing and income support policies that have social welfare goals as their primary purpose are not considered to be health expenditures yet they are recognized as powerful factors in determining population health Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Proportion of public sector Public-sector health expenditure presented as a proportion of total health expenditure Public sector includes health care spending by governments and government agencies Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

Total health expenditure by use of funds Percentage distribution of total health expenditure by health-spending category Institutional services includes hospitals and residential care types of facilities that are approved funded or operated by provincialterritorial governments Professional services includes expenditures on primary professional fees paid to physicians in private practice as well as for the services of privately practising dentists denturists chiropractors and other health professionals This category does not include the remuneration of health professionals on the payrolls of hospitals or public-sector health agencies Physician expenditures generally represents amounts that flow through provincial medical care plans Drugs includes expenditures on prescribed drugs and non-prescribed products purchased in retail stores This category does not include drugs dispensed in hospitals and other institutions Public health is that provided by governments and governmental agencies and includes expenditures for items such as food and drug safety health inspections health promotion community mental health programs public health nursing measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and other related activities Capital and other health includes expenditure on construction machinery equipment and some software for hospitals clinics first-aid stations and residential care facilities (capital) the cost of providing health insurance programs by the government and private health insurance companies and all costs for the infrastructure to operate health departments (administration expenditures) and at the aggregate level expenditures on home care medical transportation (ambulances) hearing aids other appliances and prostheses health research and miscellaneous health care (other health) Source National Health Expenditure Database Canadian Institute for Health Information

General Notes

General Notes bull The methodology used for the indicators was designed to maximize inter-regional

interprovincial and interterritorial comparability given the characteristics of available national data sets For this reason there may be differences between definitions data sources and extraction procedures used in some local regional or provincialterritorial reports when compared with those described here In addition discrepancies may exist due to ongoing updates to the databases Data presented here includes the latest updates available at the time of publication

bull Health regions are defined by provincial governments as areas of responsibility for regional health boards (that is legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities In order to determine what health region a patient belongs to postal codes are first mapped to census geography using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF Vintage May 2011) and then to a health region using another Statistics Canada product ldquoHealth Regions Boundaries and Correspondence With Census Geographyrdquo Boundaries are those that were in effect as of December 2007 with the exception of Alberta zones which are current as of December 2010

bull In Nova Scotia there are new region codes for district health authorities and zones Names remain unchanged

bull Data for regions with a population of at least 50000 is reported This threshold ensures stability in rates and reduces the risk of suppression stemming from privacy and confidentiality issues

bull Records with invalid missing or partial postal codes cannot be mapped to a health region and therefore are not included in the regional rates However they are included in the provincial rates when possible Non-Canadian residents are excluded from Canada rates they are identified by minindashpostal codes relating to one of the US states or by a postal code value or other relevant data element indicating out-of-country residents

bull For indicators under the Equity dimension patients were assigned neighbourhood-level income quintiles using Statistics Canadarsquos Postal Code Conversion File Plus (PCCF+ Version 5J) The postal code of a patientrsquos place of residence at the time of hospitalization was mapped to the smallest geographical unit available for analysis in the 2006 Canadian censusmdashthe dissemination area (DA)mdashand the corresponding neighbourhood income quintile of that DA was assigned to the patient

bull Unless otherwise specified hospitalizations include discharges and deaths for inpatients in acute care hospitals for the reference period Same-day surgery (outpatient) cases are included in several indicators Patients admitted to nonndashacute care hospitals (for example chronic care psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities) are not included in the totals

92

Health Indicators 2013

bull For procedure-derived indicators (for example hip and knee replacement percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass) rates are based on the total number of discharges rather than the total number of interventions For example a bilateral knee replacement provided at the same admission is counted as one event Procedure-derived indicators include discharges from acute care hospitals and same-day surgery facilities where applicable

bull Wherever information is available procedures that were performed out of hospital and procedures that were abandoned after onset are excluded from the calculations

bull Standardized rates are adjusted by age (collapsed to five-year groupings) using a direct method of standardization based on the July 1 1991 Canadian population

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the acute myocardial infarction readmission indicator is revised to capture all-cause readmissions rather than readmissions for selected conditions This indicator is now calculated using one year of data rather than three years of pooled data counts readmissions within 30 days and for the first time includes data submitted by Quebec Rates for previous years calculated using the new definition are provided in the Health Indicators e-publication

bull Beginning with 2011ndash2012 data the name of the 30-day pediatric readmission indicator has been changed to 30-day readmissionmdashpatients age 19 and younger

bull For the mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for mental illness [MI] repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) the population of interest includes discharges from general hospitals All free-standing psychiatric hospitals identified by the owners of the databases used were not included For the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) these include all institutions identified as psychiatric hospitals for hospitalization data from Quebec (MED-EacuteCHO) these include all centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques A list of psychiatric hospitals in the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) was provided by the OMHRS program area at CIHI Specialized acute services can be provided in general hospitals or psychiatric hospitals and service delivery may differ slightly across jurisdictions Therefore interjurisdictional comparisons should be done with caution

bull The mental illnesses selected for the mental healthndashrelated indicators (except self-injury hospitalization) are substance-related disorders schizophrenia delusional and non-organic psychotic disorders mood disorders anxiety disorders and selected disorders of adult personality and behaviour

bull For indicators that include data from OMHRS data that is available up until September of the next fiscal year is used For example rates for 2011ndash2012 include OMHRS data submitted to CIHI up until September 2012

bull Starting with the Health Indicators 2012 report Weyburn Mental Health Centre in Saskatchewan is included in all mental healthndashrelated indicators (30-day readmission for MI repeat hospitalizations for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization) As a result rates for 2010ndash2011 and onwards for Sun Country Health Region (4701) are not comparable with those reported in previous years

93

General Notes

bull For 30-day readmission for MI MI hospitalization MI patient days and self-injury hospitalization for North East LHIN rates for 2009ndash2010 are not comparable with those reported in later years This is because Brant Community Healthcare SystemmdashBrantford General Hospital did not submit its 2009ndash2010 data to the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System as of the reporting deadline for the Health Indicators 2011 report

bull To ensure interprovincial comparability of indicators diagnosis codes representing diabetes without complications (E109 E119 E139 E149) were recoded to diabetes with complications as per the Canadian coding standards on applicable records for Quebec MED-EacuteCHO data Details are available upon request

bull Due to differences in data submission the same Manitoba or Quebec resident treated in and outside of the respective province could not be identified as the same individual This may affect a small number of cases for indicators that require tracking patients beyond one hospitalization

bull See the Health Indicators e-publication (wwwcihica or wwwstatcangcca) for diagnosis and procedure codes used to extract the indicator data detailed definitions and technical notes Indicator rates for years prior to those appearing in this publication are also available in the e-publication
