Description
Max Jajszczok and co-authors (2024) report early results from applying three finance-focused quality indicators to home care in Alberta, Canada. The indicators came out of a multi-phase research program: an international scoping review, then a modified Delphi panel of policy, academic, and operational experts from across Canada. The measures target the money side of home care quality, a view health systems rarely formalize, within a provincial system spending about 23.5 billion dollars a year.
The team applied the indicators to five years of provincial data, ending as the COVID-19 pandemic began to slow. Home care spending rose steeply over the period, reaching 716 million dollars in the 2019/20 fiscal year, with the sharpest single increase, 13 percent, in 2017/18. The presentation links the financial measures to overall system performance, service use, and population outcomes. The goal is a dashboard that shows whether home care money buys results, not just activity.
