Overview of data collection process. The flow-chart pictorially represents the process by which data sources were identified, collated and compiled within a single, comprehensive manually curated and validated database. The Public Reporting steps correspond to the website titled “Reports on Long-Term Care Homes” which is maintained by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The process outlined describes the classification of each report as it pertains to sufficient staffing (SS), Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC), and Orientation and Training (OAT). Data from the Long-Term Care Home Service Accountability Agreements (L-SAA) was collected from the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) website, by a Google search, The Healthline, or the individual website of the home. Data pertaining to resident and facility characteristics were collected through CIHI Your Health system and HQ Ontario.
