Description

This table provides inpatient separation rates per 1,000 population for patients residing in the local geographic area and Alberta accessing health facilities across all of Alberta. An inpatient separation from a health care facility occurs anytime a patient (or resident) leaves because of death, discharge, sign-out against medical advice or transfer. The number of separations is the most commonly used measure of the utilization of hospital services. Separations, rather than admissions, are used because hospital abstracts for inpatient care are based on information gathered at the time of discharge. This indicator dataset contains information at both Local Geographic Area (for example, Lacombe, Red Deer, Calgary West Bow, etc.) and Alberta levels. Local geographic area refers to 132 geographic areas created by Alberta Health (AH) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) based on census boundaries.

Description

This figure provides a time profile of the number of emergency visits by day of the week. Data covers both semi-urgent and non-urgent emergency visit triage levels during the most recent fiscal year available for patients residing in the local geographic area. Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) is a scale to categorize patients according to the type and severity of their initial presenting signs and symptoms at the Emergency Department that helps to determine priorities for treatment. The CTAS is used to determine the triage level. There are 5 levels, with level 1 being the most urgent and level 5 the least urgent. This indicator dataset contains information at both Local Geographic Area (for example, Lacombe, Red Deer, Calgary West Bow, etc.) and Alberta levels. Local geographic area refers to 132 geographic areas created by Alberta Health (AH) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) based on census boundaries.

Description

Table 10.1 profiles recent data for these indicators for both the local geographic area (LGA) and Alberta. The LGA indicator value is compared to the Alberta average. As a result of consultations and analysis during the fall of 2016, 12 indicators were identified to help determine the need for new or additional primary health care services across all local geographic areas throughout Alberta. These indicators were related to health service utilization and the health needs of the population. The indicators are standardized by age, where appropriate, to allow comparison of information across local geographic areas and the province. The bullets below present the underlying issues that these indicators will address. Health status indicators help show the burden of disease in the population that could be monitored and/or improved by primary health care services. Utilization indicators determine if there is a gap between population health needs and available health care services and...

Description

This figure provides the age-standardized inpatient separation rates per 100,000 population for selected conditions. An inpatient separation from a health care facility occurs anytime a patient (or resident) leaves because of death, discharge, sign-out against medical advice or transfer. The number of separations is the most commonly used measure of the utilization of hospital services. Separations, rather than admissions, are used because hospital abstracts for inpatient care are based on information gathered at the time of discharge. The selected conditions are Asthma, Diabetes, Influenza, Ischemic Heart Diseases, Mental and Behavioural Disorders due to Psychoactive Substance Use, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Heart and Pulmonary Circulation Diseases. Age standardization is a technique applied to make rates comparable across groups with different age distributions. A simple rate is defined as the number of people with a particular condition divided by the whole population. An age-...
