This indicator measures the rate of in-person follow-up visits to a family doctor within 7 days of discharge, after hospitalization for pneumonia, diabetes, stroke, gastrointestinal disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart attack, or other cardiac conditions.  It does not include virtual visits. Timely follow-up can help smooth a patient’s transition from hospital to home or community.

A higher rate is better.

This indicator shows the percentage of patients receiving publicly funded home care who had an unplanned visit to the emergency department in the last 30 days of life.

Such visits can be an extremely difficult experience for patients and could indicate they did not receive the care they needed in the community.

A lower percentage is better.
