The Association Between Influenza Immunization Coverage Rates and Hospitalization for Community-acquired Pneumonia in Alberta
Continuity of Care and Health Decline Associated With a Hip Fracture
Health appears to be in decline prefracture. Patients may benefit from continuous physician care to prevent further health deterioration. Some hip fractures can be prevented by identifying high-risk seniors at an early stage and intervening to prevent falls
Embedding Child Health Within a Framework of Regional Health
Managing Health Services
OBJECTIVES: University-based researchers in Manitoba, Canada, have used administrative data routinely collected as part of the national health insurance plan to design an integrated database and population-based health information system. This information system is proving useful to policymakers for answering such questions as: Which populations need more physician services? Which need fewer? Are high-risk populations poorly served? or do they ha…
Needs-Based Planning for Generalist Physicians
OBJECTIVES: The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation (MCHPE) collaborated with a provincially-appointed Physician Resource Committee in an assessment of provincial physician resources. RESEARCH DESIGN: Beginning with map-based analyses of physician supply and contacts across the province, compared with the health and socioeconomic characteristics of local populations, the study moved to a needs-based, regression-based approach to phys…
Assessing the Extent to Which Hospitals Are Used for Acute Care Purposes
OBJECTIVES: The degree to which Manitobans were appropriately hospitalized for medical conditions was assessed using a retrospective chart review of a sample of patients in 26 hospitals. RESEARCH DESIGN: A standardized set of object-based, nondiagnostic criteria (Inter-Qual) was used by trained abstractors to assess the patient at admission and for each day of stay. RESULTS: A high percentage of admissions and days of care were inappropriate. Ove…
Waiting Times for Surgical Procedures
OBJECTIVES: Polls show that nearly two thirds of Canadians believe that waiting times prior to surgery have increased in recent years. A study was undertaken in Manitoba to determine whether public perceptions about long and increasing waits were valid. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using administrative data, waiting times for 10 types of surgery-ranging from coronary artery bypass surgery and mastectomy to cataract surgery and hernia repairs-were studied ove…
Validation of Self-reported Transfusion Histories in Renal Dialysis Patients
A Method of Comparison for Standardized Rates of Low-Incidence Events
The authors present an approximate but simple approach to comparing age-gender standardized rates of low-incidence events (mortality or morbidity) rates across several geographic areas. The presented method will be useful particularly when a person-level database, one that includes unique person identifiers, is not available. We specify conditions under which comparisons can be made without calculating empirical standard errors and worrying undul…
A Population-Based Health Information System
The authors introduce the Population Health Information System, its conceptual framework, and the data elements required to implement such a system in other jurisdictions. Among other innovations, the Population Health Information System distinguishes between indicators of health status (outcomes measures) and indicators of need for health care (socioeconomic measures of risk for poor health). The system also can be used to perform needs-based pl…
Stability and Trends Over 3 Years of Data
Because the health status of a population does not usually respond immediately to interventions, whether social or medical, the ability to analyze change over time is important. Therefore, patterns of change and stability in health status and health care use of Manitoba residents during a 3-year period from 1990 to 1992 were analyzed using the Population-based Health Information System. This article presents summary findings and discusses methodo…
A Population-Based Approach to Monitoring Adverse Outcomes of Medical Care
A population-based approach to monitoring quality of care combining small-area analysis and outcomes assessment is proposed. While adverse outcomes due to poor surgical technique have long been targeted for quality-of-care review, in this study, giving similar attention to adverse outcomes produced by high rates of interventions is proposed. A population-based approach will strengthen traditional review efforts that currently begin and end at the…
