The results and conclusions are those of the authors and no official endorsement by Manitoba Health was intended or should be inferred. This report was prepared at the request of Manitoba Health as part of the contract between the University of Manitoba and Manitoba Health. On a more personal note, I would like to thank the First Nations people of Manitoba for helping this report become a reality. I would also like to dedicate this report to my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Christine Egan, who worked for the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch at the time of her death. Chris truly had a heart for First Nations health issues, and inspired me to look at health from varying perspectives. She died September 11, 2001, in the New York World Trade Centre. ii THE MANITOBA CENTRE FOR HEALTH POLICY The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP) is located within the Department of Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. The mission of MCHP is to provide accurate and timely information to health care decision-makers, analysts and providers, so they can offer services which are effective and efficient in maintaining and improving the health of Manitobans. Our researchers rely upon the unique Population Health Research Data Repository to describe and explain patterns of care and profiles of illness, and to explore other factors that influence health, including income, education, employment and social status. This Repository is unique in terms of its comprehensiveness, degree of integration, and orientation around an anonymized population registry. Members of MCHP consult extensively with government officials, health care administrators, and clinicians to develop a research agenda that is topical and relevant. This strength along with its rigorous academic standards enables MCHP to contribute to the health policy process. MCHP undertakes several major research projects, such as this one, every year under contract to Manitoba Health. In addition, our researchers secure external funding by competing for other research grants. We are widely published and internationally recognized. Further, our researchers collaborate with a number of highly respected scientists from Canada, the United States and Europe. We thank the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Medicine, Health Research Ethics Board for their review of this project. The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy complies with all legislative acts and regulations governing the protection and use of sensitive information. We implement strict policies and procedures to protect the privacy and security of anonymized data used to produce this report and we keep the provincial Health Information Privacy Committee informed of all work undertaken for Manitoba Health. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.................................................................................. xvii CHAPTER 1.

  • Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Care in Manitoba, 2008-2010
    Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Care in Manitoba, 2008-2010: A Performance Analysis by C. Andrew Basham A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Community Health Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by C. Andrew Basham ABSTRACT A cross-sectional study of Manitoba TB Registry data was conducted using a set of performance measures based on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention TB Performance Objectives and Targets framework. The study investigated all cases of TB diagnosed in Manitoba during the period of 2008 to 2010 (inclusive), and their contacts. Seven performance measures (PMs) were analyzed: treatment completion/cure, early diagnosis, HIV testing/reporting, paediatric cases, retreatment cases, contact elicitation, and contact assessment. Ethnic-origin, age, sex, geographic, and treatment history groups were compared on these PMs through log-binomial and robust Poisson regression analyses, implemented through a generalized estimating equations (GEE) modelling approach. An updated epidemiological profile is provided, along with a baseline of performance in TB prevention, diagnosis, and care in Manitoba. Significant differences were found between Manitoba sub-populations in the PMs. The PM framework developed in this study provided valuable information for TB program planning and evaluation. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my Thesis Committee, and in particular Drs. Elias and Orr, for their commitment of time and energy towards this study. I would also like to acknowledge the Western Regional Training Centre in Health Services and Policy Research (WRTC) for providing me the funding to enter the M.Sc.

It is intended to provide background information on the department and complements the information already contained in the Printed Estimates of Expenditure. The contents of this document are organized into five parts. The first part provides an overview of the ministry including its strategy roadmap, strategic priorities, objectives and initiatives. The second part provides financial information on staffing and expenditures. The third part provides information on the amount of money the department requires, the spending and allocation plan, and how expenses will flow throughout the fiscal year. The fourth part provides a risk analysis overview. The fifth part provides the statutory responsibilities of the minister and a standard glossary of terms. Recently implemented across the Manitoba government, balanced scorecards foster operational improvements by reinforcing transparency, urgency, alignment and accountability. They have been added to the redesigned Supplement to identify key priorities for each department that staff will work towards, with appropriate performance measures. With the Supplement redesigned to be a business plan that focuses on strategic priorities, departments can then take steps to create operating plans that further identify how strategic priorities will translate into day-to-day operations.

The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Aboriginal organizations more available to the public. This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown considerably since its initial edition, which had 16 pages compared to the 100 pages of the present edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Aboriginal cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present in this directory an accurate and up-to-date listing. Fax numbers, Email addresses and Websites have been included whenever available. Inevitably, errors and omissions will have occurred in the revising and updating of this Directory, and the committee would greatly appreciate receiving information about such oversights, as well as changes and new information to be included in a future revision. Please call, fax or write to the Aboriginal Friendship Committee, Fort Garry United Church, using the information on the next page.
