Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information:
"Data for non-physician inpatient unit staff reflects activity of unit-producing personnel (UPP) in hospital inpatient units as reported to the Canadian MIS Database (CMDB) by ministries and departments of health.
The CMDB houses financial and statistical data from approximately 600 public hospitals and 2,000 non-hospital health service organizations and regional health authorities across Canada, except Quebec and Nunavut.
UPP captured in the inpatient services data primarily include nursing professionals (nurse practitioners and other advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and registered psychiatric nurses); they also include (but are not limited to) occupational therapists, laboratory technologists, pharmacists, housekeepers, and public health officers. They do not include medical personnel (i.e. physicians and residents), managers, or administrative support personnel."
