Background: Language-concordant health care, or health care in a patient’s language of choice, is an important element of health accessibility that improves patient safety and comfort and facilitates an increased quality of care. However, prior research has found that linguistic minorities often face higher travel burdens to access language-concordant care compared to the general population. Objective: This study intended to assess patient experiences and satisfaction with an online...

Background: Although language concordance between patients and primary care physicians results in better quality of care and health outcomes, little research has explored inequities in travel burden to access primary care people of linguistic minority groups in Canada. We sought to investigate the travel burden of language-concordant primary care among people who speak French but not English (French-only speakers) and the general public in Ottawa, Ontario, and any inequities in access across...

Background Appropriate use of medication is a key indicator of the quality of care provided in long-term care (LTC). The objective of this study was to determine whether resident-facility language concordance/discordance is associated with the odds of potentially inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotics (PIP-AP) in LTC. Methods We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study of LTC residents in Ontario, Canada from 2010 to 2019. We obtained resident language from standardized...

As the population ages, those with multiple chronic diseases will require increasing levels of home care and long-term services. This study described the levels of multimorbidity among recipients of home care in Ontario, Canada by linguistic group. Methods Population-based retrospective cohort of...

This approach fails to consider the fact that FSPs also serve non-Francophone patients and that Francophones must compete with the entire population to access FSPs. As a result, this approach...

Cette étude a utilisé les données sur les médecins, la facturation et le recensement de 2016 dont dispose l’ICES pour examiner l’accès potentiel à des médecins de famille francophones pour les francophones résidant dans 1 643 aires de diffusion agrégées (ADA) de l’Ontario. L’Ontario compte 550 280 francophones, soit 4,1 % de sa population. Nous avons identifié 8 199 médecins de famille, parmi lesquels 1 169 se sont autodéclarés francophones. Le ratio provincial global pour les francophones...
