Abstract
Statistics summarizing Canadians' use of hospital services are usually based on simple discharge totals, without any attempt to distinguish which discharges may have belonged to the same person. This leads to a distorted view of the prevalence of illness and the resources required to serve each patient. Statistics based on the number of people going to hospital shed new light on the demand for resources by various groups, now and in the future.
