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.

Same-day or next-day appointment with a Primary Care Provider	This indicator shows the percentage of people aged 16 or older who reported they saw their family doctor, or another primary care provider in their office, on the same or next day when they were sick and felt that they urgently needed care during the previous 12 months, in Ontario. People lacking timely access to their primary care provider may end up visiting a walk-in clinic or hospital emergency department instead, which can affect continuity of patient care and contribute to long waits in crowded emergency departments. A higher percentage is better. The results can be reported for 2-3 days; 4-7 days and 8 or more days.	21/10/2024	Primary Care, Process, Patient Reported Measures, Timely, Health Care Experience Survey (HCES)	Add to compare
