Over 80 indicators measure the health of the Canadian population and the effectiveness of the health care system. Designed to provide comparable information at the health region and provincial/territorial levels, these data are produced from a wide range of the most recently available sources.

Release date: 2020-07-30 - 2. The quality of indigenous identification and other demographic data in Australian hospital morbidity records ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20010016283Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
The accurate recording of patients' Indegenous status in hospital separations data is critical to analyses of health service use by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, who have relatively poor health. However, the accuracy of these data is now well understood. In 1998, a methodology for assessing the data accuracy was piloted in 11 public hospitals. Data were collected for 8,267 patients using a personal interview, and compared with the corresponding, routinely collected data. Among the 11 hospitals, the proportion of patients correctly recorded as Indigenous ranged from 55 % to 100 %. Overall, hospitals with high proportions of Indigenous persons in their catchment areas reported more accurate data. The methodology has since been used to assess data quality in hospitals in two Australian states and to promote best practice data collection.

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
The three papers presented in this session offer excellent insight into the issues concerning the quality of hospital morbidity data. Richards, Brown, and Homan sampled hospital records to evaluate administrative data in Canada; Hargreaves sampled persons in hospitals to evaluate administrative data in Australia; and McLemoreand Pokras describe the quality assurance practices of an ongoing sample survey of hospital records in the United States. Each paper is discussed, along with the issues and challenges for the future.
Release date: 2002-09-12 - 4. Changes in children's hospital use ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024732Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines changes in hospital separations of children aged 1 to 14 between 1986/87 and 1996/97. It focuses on four common causes of childhood hospitalization: asthma, chronic disease of tonsils and adenoids, fractures, and acute appendicitis.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19950011663Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines national and regional trends in mortality and morbidity due to abdominal aortic aneurysms from 1969 to 1991. Annual age-adjusted mortality and hospital separation rates were calculated for men and women aged 55 and older whose underlying cause of death was abdominal aortic aneurysm, or who were hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. In recent decades, abdominal aortic aneurysm mortality rates remained stable, in contrast to substantial declines in mortality rates for cerebrovascular disease and cardiovascular disease. The pattern was similar for both sexes, although rates were four to five times higher among men than among women. In 1991, age-adjusted rates were around 31.0 per 100,000 men aged 55 and over and 8.5 per 100,000 women aged 55 and over. Over the 1969 to 1991 period mortality rates in all regions tended to coverage. Although mortality rates were stable, hospital separation rates for abdominal aortic aneurysms increased sharply, particularly for unruptured aneurysms. Screening programs have been able to detect asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms, and surgical intervention can substantially reduce mortality. However, the costs and benefits of screnning programs should be assessed. If current mortality rates persist, as the baby boom ages there will be an absolute increase in the number of deaths from abdominal aortic aneurysms.
