The methodological paper, entitled Making Sense of Health Rankings, is designed to help readers understand and assess reports that rank the health status or health system performance of a country, province or jurisdiction.
It outlines the components and processes that underlie health rankings, explores why such rankings can be difficult to interpret and includes a plain-language checklist to use as a critical evaluative resource when reading health-ranking reports.
The methodological paper Making Sense of Health Rankings (82-582-XWE, free), a joint project between Statistics Canada and the Canadian Institute for Health Information, is now available from the Publications module of our website.
