Improving patient safety and quality of care: Applying an equity lens to hospital harm  

Released: October 2024

红领巾瓜报has reported that 1 in 17 hospital stays in 2021鈥2022 involved patients experiencing at least one harmful event, up from 1 in 18 reported in 2014鈥2015. Emerging best practice suggests that monitoring harm incidence rates at the overall and subpopulation levels better supports equitable care and care outcomes. There is limited information in the Canadian context on the rate of harmful events among equity-deserving groups. This project examines inequalities in hospital harm using a variety of equity stratifiers.

Who this is for

This analysis introduces health system decision-makers and hospital quality and safety leaders to equity measurements in analyses of patient safety events.
