About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who were able to get an appointment with their primary care provider within 5 days.

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 and last consultation was for a health concern or problem. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "same day, 1 day, 2 days or 3 to 5 days" by the number of respondents who answered "same day, 1 day, 2 days, 3 to 5 days, 6 to 7 days, 8 to 14 days (up to 2 weeks), 15 to 21 days (up to 3 weeks), 22 to 28 days (up to 4 weeks) or more than 4 weeks/More than a month" to the question: Thinking of the last time you consulted with your family doctor or your nurse practitioner, either in-person or virtually, how long did it take from when you first tried to make the appointment to when you actually consulted with him/her?

Notes

The 2020 edition of the Primary Health Survey (PHS) was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, NBHC had to assess the impact of surveying during the pandemic. Accordingly, advanced statistical analyses were performed to allow for comparison between the results obtained in 2020 and those obtained in previous PHS cycles. Despite these analyses, users are advised to use the PHS 2020 data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other PHS editions.
