Hospital Standardized Mortality Rate
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has calculated the HSMR for eligible acute care hospitals in Canada. CIHI has made HSMR results public only for “eligible” hospitals - those with more than 2,500 HSMR cases. It has not released results for hospitals, like ours, with less than 2,500 HSMR cases because the low numbers make the results less stable and, therefore, less reliable.
Although our HSMR is not being publicly reported, we are using it internally to help our hospital inspire performance improvement and enhance patient safety.
