Welcome to the Ontario Health Indicator Library

The Ontario Health Indicator Library provides a fully searchable library of indicator profiles reported by OH and other entities. The library will feature indicator characteristics, including: the indicator definition, the rationale as to why (or why not) an indicator is reported, technical specifications, alignment information, information about data sources, and links to those sources. In addition to a keyword search, you can perform side-by-side comparisons of up to three indicators, based on different filters, such as sector, dimension, type, topic, and data source. You can also export the indicator definitions to a format of your choice.

Medication review with Primary Care Provider or Pharmacist	This indicator shows the percentage of people aged 16 or older who said their primary care provider or pharmacist reviewed their prescription medications with them during the previous 12 months, in Ontario. Helping patients manage their medications is important to ensure the medications are safe for them and contribute to better health outcomes. The primary care provider or pharmacist performing the review should be aware of all medications prescribed to the patient; clarify how the patient is using each medication; and educate the patient about each medication. A higher percentage is better.	21/10/2024	Primary Care, Process, Patient Safety and Never Events, Patient-centred, Safe, Health Care Experience Survey (HCES)	Add to compare
