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.
This paper describes the methods used to increase the response rates of a generalist and specialist physician survey. The means of delivery (regular versus priority mail) and notification of inclusion in a draw for cash prizes were randomized using a 2 x 2 factorial design. While neither priority delivery nor notification of a cash prize sufficiently overcame whatever obstacles exist in this population, both approaches had a positive, though limited, effect on the response rate of the physicians. However, a subsequent mailing of a prepaid cash incentive (delivered by courier) was particularly effective in increasing the representation of the generalist subsample.

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 Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) is one of the key data holdings held by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). The institute is a national, not-for-profit organization, which plays a critical role in the development of Canada's health information system. The DAD contains acute care discharge data from most Canadian hospitals. The data generated are essential for determining, for example, the number and types of procedures and the length of hospital stays. CIHI is conducting the first national data quality study of selected clinical and administrative data from the DAD. This study is evaluating and measuring the accuracy of the DAD by returning to the original data sources and comparing this information with what exists in the CIHI database, in order to identify any discrepancies and their associated reasons. This paper describes the DAD data quality study and some preliminary findings. The findings are also briefly compared with another similar study. In conclusion, the paper discusses subsequent steps for the study and how the findings from the first year are contributing to improvements in the quality of the DAD.
Release date: 2002-09-12 - 363. Data quality in the National Hospital Discharge Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20010016284Description:
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.
Since 1965, the National Center for Health Statistics has conducted the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS), a national probability sample survey of discharges from non-federal, short-stay and general hospitals. A major aspect of the NHDS redesign in 1988 was to use electronic data from abstracting service organizations and state data systems. This paper presents an overview of the development of the NHDS and the 1988 redesign. Survey methodologies are reviewed in light of the data collection and processing issues arising from the combination of "manually" abstracted data and "automated" data. Methods for assessing the overall quality and accuracy of the NHDS data are discussed for both data collection modes. These methods include procedures to ensure that incoming data meet established standards and that abstracted data are processed and coded according to strict quality control procedures. These procedures are presented in the context of issues and findings from the broader literature about the quality of hospital administrative data sets.

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: 2002-03-13 - 367. Unmet needs for health care ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010026061Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1998/99, just under 7% of Canadian adults reported having had unmet health care needs in the previous year. In over half of cases, these were attributable to acceptability problems such as being too busy. About a third of episodes were attributable to perceived availability of service (long waiting times, for example). Accessibility (cost or transportation) problems were factors in just over 10% of cases.

In 1998/99, 3.8 million adults reported having used the services of an alternative practitioner in the previous year. This was not a rejection of conventional health care, as users of alternative practitioners were more likely than non-users to have a regular physician and also to have consulted specialists.

The novel COVID-19 pandemic has been expected to impact the workloads of health care workers such as nurses, but to date, the magnitude of such changes has not been quantified. Compiling data about nurses’ working conditions is important because excessive workload and overtime hours have been linked with decreased well-being and with implications for the long term health of workers and for health service delivery. To shed light on this issue, this study reports on the changes to nurses’ overtime work hours before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the population ages, a greater demand for long-term care services and, in particular, nursing homes is expected. Policy analysts continue to search for alternative, less costly forms of care for the elderly and have attempted to develop programs to delay or prevent nursing-home entry. Health care administrators required information for planning the future demand for nursing-home services. This study assesses the relative importance of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics in predicting and understanding nursing-home entry.
