About this Table
Content and description
This table has indicators that describe the quality of acute care services in the province for hospital-based acute care. It covers topics related to timely access to selected surgeries, deaths and different adverse outcomes in hospitals, length of stay, cost per patient day and patient experience.
Why is it important?
These indicators help inform citizens and health system stakeholders about the quality of acute care services in hospitals in the province. It also encourages health system stakeholders to create performance targets and make necessary improvements.
Availability of the data
The information in this data table is available for New Brunswick in general and by the seven New Brunswick health zones.
What is a Z-Score?
To facilitate the identification of areas of strengths and areas of improvement, the data table includes green and red flags that highlight the indicators where the zone performs better or worse than other zones, based on a Z-score analysis.
A Z-score is a numerical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values (normal distribution of values). A Z-score is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 (or -1.0) would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. A Z-score of +1.282 is the cut point used to display flags that inform on health zone values that are far enough from the mean to be deemed better or worse than the average.
