About

This indicator is the percentage of acute care patients who reported that the hospital staff always described possible side effects of their new medication in a way they could understand.

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who received new medication(s). 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 describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?
