This indicator measures the percentage of long-term care home residents who fell during the 30 days preceding their resident assessment. Falls are the leading cause of injury for seniors and contribute to a significant burden on the health care system. Residents are at a higher risk of falling if they have a history of falls or are taking certain medications. Preventing falls increases the safety and quality of care of residents. The indicator is calculated as a rolling four quarter average. This indicator was jointly developed by interRAI and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). A lower percentage is better.

This indicator measures the percentage of long-term care home residents without psychosis who were given antipsychotic medication in the seven days preceding their resident assessment. Residents were excluded from this indicator if they had a diagnosis of schizophrenia or Huntington's chorea, experienced hallucinations or delusions, have an end-stage disease or are receiving hospice/palliative care. These drugs are sometimes used to manage behaviours in residents who have dementia. Careful monitoring is required, as such use raises concerns about safety and quality of care. The indicator is calculated as a rolling four quarter average. This indicator was jointly developed by interRAI and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). A lower percentage is better.

This indicator measures the percentage of long-term care home residents who experienced moderate pain daily or any severe pain during the seven days preceding their resident assessment. The consequences of pain include difficulty with activities of daily living (ADLs), depression and lower quality of life. The prevalence of persistent pain increases with age, and proper treatment of pain is necessary to improve the health status of residents. The indicator is calculated as a rolling four quarter average. This indicator was jointly developed by interRAI and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). A lower percentage is better.

This indicator measures the percentage of long-term care home residents in physical restraints every day during the seven days preceding their resident assessment. Restraints are sometimes used to manage behaviours or to prevent falls. There are many potential physical and psychological risks associated with applying physical restraints to older adults, and such use raises concerns about safety and quality of care. The indicator is calculated as a rolling four quarter average. This indicator was jointly developed by interRAI and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). A lower percentage is better.
