March 26, 2014
Ottawa, ON: Canadian Institute for Health Information; January 23, 2014.
This report compared the quality of care in Canada with 34 other countries to identify areas in which it performed well and where it needed improvement. The country has strong measures of community care such as avoidable admissions and influenza vaccinations, but is behind in efforts to reduce patient safety incidents, including trauma in obstetric care and retained foreign objects.
