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 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.
