COVID-19: Get the latest updates or take a self-assessment.
Results for the 2020/21 fiscal year should be interpreted with caution. There were fewer emergency department visits early in the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to a lower rate for the indicator below in 2020/21.
This indicator shows the percentage of patients receiving publicly funded home care who had an unplanned visit to the emergency department in the last 30 days of life. A lower percentage is better. Such visits can be an extremely difficult experience for patients and could indicate they did not receive the care they needed in the community.
