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 suggests where this gap exists (e.g. use of emergency departments for non-urgent health care). This table is the part of "Alberta Health Primary Health Care - Community Profiles" report published March 2019.

The Alberta Health Community Profiles are intended to highlight areas of need and provide relevant information to support the consistent and sustainable planning of primary healthcare services. Each Profile offers on overview of the current health status of residents in the Local Geographic Area (LGA), indicators of the area's current and future health needs, and evidence as to which quality services are needed on a timely and efficient basis to address the area's needs.
