Calculations

This indicator is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted proportions obtained for the following two indicators: AU_ADM04_1 and AU_ADM05_1. This sum of weighted proportions is then divided by the sum of the weighted number of respondents to these same two indicators. The questions to which these indicators refer are as follows: 'When you were in the emergency department, did you get enough information about your condition and treatment?' and 'Were you given enough information about what was going to happen during your admission to the hospital?'. This composite score calculation methodology is the same as the one used by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
