Municipality Fort Saskatchewan Category All indicators Select a different category   LEGEND: BLUE Better than the Alberta average for the selected year. WHITE Not different from the Alberta average for the selected year. RED Worse than the Alberta average for the selected year. - No data were available for this year. DEFINITIONS: Rank All institutions were ranked on each indicator based on their scores, where the highest rank of 1 corresponds to the highest score out of 100. Volume indicators were not ranked since they have threshold requirements. Score The score indicates how well a hospital performs on a given indicator, based on its risk adjusted rate where a score of 100 is the highest. Risk adjusted rate Measures the observed rate adjusted for differences in patients’ age, sex, and the presence of complications. Observed rate Measures the outcome of interest compared to population at risk. Alberta average/total This value is the risk adjusted average (Alberta average) or total (Alberta total) of an indicator across all acute care hospitals in Alberta. Post-operative physiologic and metabolic derangements Development of disorders that interfere with biochemical processes within the body including kidney failure and diabetes occurring in patients after an elective surgery. Lower rates are more desirable.
