Results from a data linkage study about home care services use in Manitoba found that women aged 85 years and older are more likely to be home care clients compared to men; however, men use these services more often than women. The Manitoba Home Care Program offers at-home care for Manitobans who need health services or assistance with daily living, which includes housekeeping, nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and respite work. In recent years, Regional Health Authorities started using Procura, a new software that provides more information on home care clients. In this study, we evaluate the validity of the Procura data and use this data to look at the nature of home care use in Manitoba. We found the Procura data to be accurate and reliable, and future analyses can uncover information that is useful for health care providers.
