About this Table
Content and description
Data about the experience patients reported when communicating with doctors, nurses and other staff during their hospital stay in a New Brunswick hospital. The indicators measure acute care patients’ reported experience regarding their communication with doctors, nurses and about new medications, their involvement in decision making and coordination of care and regarding the language of service.
Why is it important?
By better understanding the experience of citizens with New Brunswick hospitals, we can better assess the quality of services. This also encourages health system stakeholders to create performance targets based on care experience survey indicators.
Availability of the data
The information in this data table is available for New Brunswick in general, by the seven New Brunswick health zones, the two Regional Health Authorities, by hospital (medium and large hospitals), by type of care received, as well as by demographic groups. More information is available on our Hospital Acute Care Survey page.
