About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens receiving home care services from a home support worker who reported that they were harmed because of an error or mistake as a result of their services.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Home Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "yes or no" to the question: In the last 12 months, do you or your family members believe that you were harmed because of an error or mistake as a result of home support services?

Notes

The 2021 edition of the Home Care Survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, users are advised to use the survey data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other editions of the survey.
