Michael Terner1, Jennifer D'Silva2, Brenda Tipper3
1Michael Terner, MSc, is a program lead with the Primary Health Care (PHC) Information and Clinical Registries branch at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). He has previously worked as a medical writer in the clinical research industry and as a researcher at several federal government agencies.
Abstract:
Updated primary healthcare (PHC) indicators are now available for use across Canada. The Canadian Institute for Health Information identified and updated two sets of priority indicators - a policy set to meet the needs of policy makers and a provider set to meet the needs of providers of PHC at the practice and organization levels. A total of 51 indicator definitions were updated to ensure that they are measurable and operational, align with clinical practice guidelines and available data sources and reflect important dimensions of PHC performance in Canada.
