However, the sector does not come directly under the legislation of the Welsh Language Act of 1993,...

The introduction of The Welsh Language Standards (No. 7) Regulations in 2018 marked a significant statutory development,...

Background: Research considering the impact of language on health care utilization is limited. We conducted a population-based study to: (1) investigate the association between residents’ preferred language and hospital-based health care utilization; and (2) determine whether this association is modified by dementia, a condition which can exacerbate communication barriers. Methods: We used administrative databases to establish a retrospective cohort study of home care recipients...

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected frail individuals, especially those living in long-term care (LTC) homes. This study examined the role of linguistic factors on COVID-19 related outcomes in LTC homes. Methods We performed a population-based, retrospective cohort study of residents living in LTC homes in Ontario, Canada who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. Resident language, obtained from LTC assessments, was used to...

Introduction As the world’s linguistic diversity continues to increase at an unprecedented rate, a growing proportion of patients will be at risk of experiencing language barriers in primary care settings. We sought to examine whether patient–family physician language concordance in a primary care setting is associated with lower rates of hospital-based healthcare utilisation and mortality. Methods We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of 497 227 home care recipients...

Objective Research examining the impact of language barriers on patient safety is limited. We conducted a population-based study to determine whether patients whose primary language is not English are more likely to experience harm when admitted to hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Methods We used linked administrative health records to establish a retrospective cohort of home care recipients (from 2010 to 2015) who were subsequently admitted to hospital. Patient language (obtained from home...

Background Patients who live in minority language situations are generally more likely to experience poor health outcomes, including harmful events. The delivery of healthcare services in a language-concordant environment has been shown to mitigate the risk of poor health outcomes related to chronic disease management in primary care. However, data assessing the impact of language-concordance on the risk of in-hospital harm are lacking. We conducted a population-based study to determine...

Importance: Patients who live in minority language communities often receive health care services of lower quality and safety compared with patients who speak the majority language. Yet the outcomes associated with care provided by physicians who speak a patient’s primary language remain unknown. Objective : To examine patient-physician language concordance and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among patients with hypertension. Design, Setting, and Participants This...

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...

Like the general population, the Francophone population is aging and at a faster rate than the population as a whole. While the median age for the Ontario population is 40.1 years, it is 44 for Francophones, and the largest age categories among Francophones are 45-54 and 65 and over: almost one out of five Francophones is included in these age groups. Although the population of the Central Region, including the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), is somewhat younger, the median age of Francophones...
