About

This indicator is the percentage of acute care patients who reported that the hospital staff always told them what their new medication was for.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Hospital Acute Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have received a new medication. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "always" by the number of respondents who answered "never, sometimes, usually or always" to the question: Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for?
