Calculations

This indicator is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted proportions obtained for the following two indicators: AU_DCI02_1 and AU_DCI03_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: 'During this hospital stay, did doctors, nurses or other hospital staff talk with you about whether you would have the help you needed when you left the hospital?' and 'During this hospital stay, did you get information in writing about what symptoms or health problems to look out for after you left the hospital?'. This composite score calculation methodology is the same as the one used by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
