  • 1. Access to specialized health care services among older Canadians
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400300002
    Description: Canada is experiencing rapid population aging, which has a wide range of implications, including an increased need for health care services. However, very few studies have examined use of specialized health care services (e.g., visits to medical specialists, non-emergency tests, and surgeries) among older Canadians. Using data from the 2019/2020 Canadian Health Survey on Seniors, this study examines the prevalence of specialized health care service use and evaluates the association of predisposing factors, enabling resources, and need-related factors with specialized health care service use in the past 12 months among Canadians aged 65 or older.

  • 3. Understanding future needs of Canadian veterans Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201801100003
    Description:

    This study describes the size and age structure of the Canadian veteran population forecasted by Veterans Affairs Canada. Veteran health was examined for two eras of Regular Force veterans. The health of earlier-era veterans (released between 1954 and 2003) was examined using the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey. The health of recent-era veterans (released between 1998 and 2012) was examined using the 2013 Life After Service Survey. Health indicators for veterans were compared with the Canadian general population.

It presents statistics on healthcare professionals who are official language minorities, able to conduct a conversation in the minority official language or those who use it in the workplace. For the years 2001 and 2011, the evolution of the healthcare services provided is analyzed and is compared with the official language minority population in Canada.

  • 8. Experimental Measures of Output and Productivity in the Canadian Hospital Sector, 2002 to 2010 Archived
    Articles and reports: 15-206-X2014034
    Description:

    Recent discussions about health care spending have focused on two issues: 1) the extent to which the increase in heath care spending is due to an increase in the quantity as opposed to the price of health care services, and 2) the efficiency and productivity of health care providers (e.g., hospital sectors, office of physicians, and long-term care).

    The key to addressing both issues is a direct output measure of health care services—a measure that does not currently exist. In the National Accounts, output of the health care sector is measured by the volume of inputs, which includes labour costs for physicians, nurses and administrative staff, consumption of capital, and intermediate inputs. An input-based output measure assumes that there are no productivity gains in the health care sector. As a result, it does not provide a measure of productivity performance, nor does it allow a decomposition of total health care expenditures into price and output quantity components.

    The main objective of this paper is to develop an experimental direct output measure for the Canadian hospital sector that can be used to address those issues. A large number of countries have already constructed a direct output measure of the hospital sector and other healthcare sectors.
