HIMI – 14 (week 14) Assignment Instructions Assignment This assignment will allow you to become more familiar with how data collected by various agencies, including hospitals, is aggregated and compared across Canada. Go to: https://yourhealthsystem.cihi.ca/hsp/inbrief?lang=en The ‘HELP’ button provides information on how to use the site, if you need assistance. This website identifies 5 areas of performance of Canada’s health system. Exploring the website, answer the following questions: 1. Access: a. How does CIHI define access? Access is about whether people can get the health care they need when needed. In 2018, access to mental health and substance use services and to home and community care was identified as a shared health priority by all governments across the country. For example, nearly 1 in 10 Canadians who visit an emergency room for help with mental health and substance use do so frequently (4 or more times a year). Frequent ER visits may signal a lack of access to services in the community. b. What is: i. The national average for patients having a hip or knee replacement within 6 months in 2018-19? 72% ii. Ontario’s average for the same criterion? 81% iii. Does that mean Ontario is better or worse? better c. What is: i. The national percentage of patients with a regular doctor in 2017-18? 84.9% ii. Yukon’s percentage for the same criterion? _____% 78.8% 2. Quality: a. What are the top causes of death in Canadian hospitals? Stroke, Covid 19, Sepsis, Heart Failure, Pneumonia, Respiratory failure b. What is the national average of patients urgently readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge? 9.3% c. What is the average of patients in Winnipeg urgently readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge in 2016/17? 8.6% d. Looking at Covenant Health Misericordia hospital in Alberta for 2016/17, is the rate of those urgently readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge higher or lower than the Canadian average? 9.1%. Urgently readmitted to the Hospital is lower than the Canadian average. 3. Spending: a. This cost measure has a formal indicator name. What it is? Age-Adjusted Public Spending per Person Health is one of the largest expenses of provincial and territorial governments. This adjusted measure looks at what these governments spend per person on health. It’s calculated as da6da816163c9789f1bb00caa6746a9990627568.docx

though all provinces and territories have the same population age distribution as the Canadian average so we can understand how factors other than population age influence spending differences. b. What is the Canadian average cost of a hospital stay? $7619 c. What is the average hospital stay cost for people in Labrador City for 2016/2017? $6301 4. Health Promotion and Disease: a.

What is the Canadian life expectancy in 2015-2017? 82.1% or 82 years old b. What is the life expectancy in Nunavut for the same period? 72.1% or 72 years old da6da816163c9789f1bb00caa6746a9990627568.docx
