Definition:

This indicator provides information regarding the portion of all days of care in the hospitals in each RHA that were provided to residents:

• of the (home) RHA,
  
• another RHA,
  
• Winnipeg, or
  
• out-of-province residents.

If a patient was transferred between hospitals, each stay was counted as a separate event and the days spent in each hospital were attributed to that hospital's catchment. Area residence was assigned based on the patient’s postal code provided in the hospital abstract at the time of hospitalization.
