About

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted proportions obtained for the following two indicators: AU_ROS01_1 and AU_ROS03_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, after you pressed the call button, how often did you get help as soon as you wanted it?' and 'How often did you get help in getting to the bathroom or in using a bedpan as soon as you wanted?'. This composite score calculation methodology is the same as the one used by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
