Fast Facts on Information Management

Currently, data on the use and efficiency of hospital care requires more than eight months to process – the same as it did in the 1960s.
Right now there are nearly 100 separate health information databases in Ontario, many of which contain the same data.
There are nearly 2,000 separate performance indicators in use in Ontario. An indicator is what it used to gauge how the different areas of the health system are performing, such as the length of time patients are spending waiting for surgeries. Many are of limited use because they are either difficult to interpret, they provide only limited information, or they do not relate to the government’s key health priorities.
Hospitals are submitting up to 200 separate data reports, some on a daily basis.
