OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Caveats and Limitations
Several types of home care clients and services are excluded (e.g. end-of-life clients, respite services, nursing clinic services), suggesting these results cannot be widely applied to all home care clients and all home care services. Caregivers were surveyed in place of clients in the event any of the following criteria were met: 1) Client is <19 years of age at time of sample selection 2) Client is identified as cognitively incapable 3) Client is discharged from placement with one of the four discharge dispositions listed under the General Survey Inclusion Criteria. Surveying may be done while a person is still a home care client. They may feel like they cannot respond honestly because of risk to their services. This is mitigated by the survey not being conducted by the provider.
Comments Detailed
The survey is intended to be an ongoing evaluation tool, with four sample waves conducted annually in each region. The survey population comprises individuals who have received publicly funded home care services. Both active and discharged clients are included in the survey population. A minimum of 1,000 respondents are to be surveyed in each region over the period of a year. Some regions have chosen to conduct over 1,500 surveys per year. For each region, samples are based on a random selection of clients from either proportionate or disproportionate strata, depending on plans developed with the region. Strata may include: service level, geographic region, service type and/or provider (e.g., nursing, homemaking care, physiotherapy, etc.).
Footnotes
The term "client" is used in public reporting to denote an individual who received home care services. Other organizations may use the term "patient". Both terms refer to the same home care recipients.
