Updated primary healthcare (PHC) indicators are now available for use across Canada. The Canadian Institute for Health Information identified and updated two sets of priority indicators - a policy set to meet the needs of policy makers and a provider set to meet the needs of providers of PHC at the practice and organization levels. A total of 51 indicator definitions were updated to ensure that they are measurable and operational, align with clinical practice guidelines and available data sources and reflect important dimensions of PHC performance in Canada.
更新后的初级卫生保健（PHC）指标现已可供全加拿大使用。加拿大卫生信息研究所确定并更新了两组优先指标——一组政策指标以满足政策制定者的需求，另一组提供者指标以满足初级卫生保健提供者在实践和组织层面的需求。总共更新了51个指标定义，以确保它们可衡量且可操作，与临床实践指南和可用数据源保持一致，并反映加拿大初级卫生保健绩效的重要方面。
