Case Studies
• Data on senior's health in Nova Scotia led to equitable
allocation at the provincial level of more than $70
million in new long-term care beds
• Quality indicator reviews led to a decrease in the use of
anti-anxiety and hypnotic drugs in nursing homes
from 25% to 10% in 18 months (Health region in
Saskatchewan)
• Quality indicator reviews led to a shift in care
approaches resulting in a 20% decrease in restraint
use in long-term care facilities across the Saskatoon
Health Region and specifically a 40% decrease in one
particular facility (Pleasant View Care Home,
Saskatchewan)
