About

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. 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, did you consult with your family doctor or your nurse practitioner either in-person or virtually? A virtual care consultation includes telephone, video, email, or text messaging.
