About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who reported that they were somewhat or very satisfied with the health care services they received from their primary care provider in the last 12 months.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Primary Health Survey and Primary Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have a family doctor or a nurse practitioner and who consulted with them in the last 12 months. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "somewhat satisfied or very satisfied" by the number of respondents who answered "very dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, somewhat satisfied or very satisfied" to the question: Thinking of the last 12 months, what was your level of satisfaction with the health care services you received from your family doctor or nurse practitioner?
