In this study, data from the 2000/2001 Canadian Community Health Survey were linked to the Hospital Person-Oriented Information Database, permitting prospective measures of hospital use by smoking status and age.
Release date: 2009-12-16 - 2. Evaluation of the coverage of linked Canadian Community Health Survey and hospital inpatient records ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200800010972Description:
Background: Evaluation of the coverage that results from linking routinely collected administrative hospital data with survey data is an important preliminary step to undertaking analyses based on the linked file. Data and methods: To evaluate the coverage of the linkage between data from cycle 1.1 of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and in-patient hospital data (Health Person-Oriented Information or HPOI), the number of people admitted to hospital according to HPOI was compared with the weighted estimate for CCHS respondents who were successfully linked to HPOI. Differences between HPOI and the linked and weighted CCHS estimate indicated linkage failure and/or undercoverage. Results: According to HPOI, from September 2000 through November 2001, 1,572,343 people (outside Quebec) aged 12 or older were hospitalized. Weighted estimates from the linked CCHS, adjusted for agreement to link and plausible health number, were 7.7% lower. Coverage rates were similar for males and females. Provincial rates did not differ from those for the rest of Canada, although differences were apparent for the territories. Coverage rates were significantly lower among people aged 75 or older than among those aged 12 to 74.
Release date: 2009-12-03 - 3. Interaction between data collection and sample design: A plus in a complex selection process? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200800010990Description:
The purpose of the Quebec Health and Social Services User Satisfaction Survey was to provide estimates of user satisfaction for three types of health care institutions (hospitals, medical clinics and CLSCs). Since a user could have visited one, two or all three types, and since the questionnaire could cover only one type, a procedure was established to select the type of institution at random. The selection procedure, which required variable selection probabilities, was unusual in that it was adjusted during the collection process to adapt increasingly to regional disparities in the use of health and social services.

This study compares the health status, preventive behaviour and risk factors of female nurses with those of other employed postsecondary-educated women.
Release date: 2009-08-19 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X200900110884Description:
The paper considers small domain estimation of the proportion of persons without health insurance for different minority groups. The small domains are cross-classified by age, sex and other demographic characteristics. Both hierarchical and empirical Bayes estimation methods are used. Also, second order accurate approximations of the mean squared errors of the empirical Bayes estimators and bias-corrected estimators of these mean squared errors are provided. The general methodology is illustrated with estimates of the proportion of uninsured persons for several cross-sections of the Asian subpopulation.

This article examines geographical variations in 30-day revascularization rates and 30-day in-hospital mortality rates for Canadian heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) patients. The data are from the Health Person-Oriented Information Database and pertain to health regions with at least 100,000 population in seven provinces for the years 1995/1996 and 2003/2004.
Release date: 2009-06-17 - Journals and periodicals: 81-600-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
To understand the degree to which the supply of workers in health occupations is meeting (and will meet) the health needs of Canadians, Health Canada asked Statistics Canada to study the relationship between education and training and the supply of professionals into health occupations. This series of fact sheets highlights, in summary form, key information relating to the education and training of workers in health and related occupations in Canada.

This is an analytical report on Services to Official-Language Minorities by Health Professionals. This report explores the availability of health professionals who can work in either official language to serve the needs of official language minorities and compares the number of those professionals with the distribution of minority and majority populations in each region of the country.

This article examines physical and emotional abuse from patients in nurses working in hospitals or long-term care facilities.

This article uses emergency department data from Ontario to investigate the possibility that some emergency department presentations coded "undetermined" may actually be "deliberate self-harm".
