About

This indicator is the percentage of acute care patients who reported that they were always involved in decision making and treatment options (themselves and their family or friends).

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted proportions obtained for the following two indicators: AU_APP03_1 and AU_APP04_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: 'Were you involved as much as you wanted to be in decisions about your care and treatment?' and 'Were your family or friends involved as much as you wanted in decisions about your care and treatment?'. This composite score calculation methodology is the same as the one used by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
