Abstract
We agree that amenable mortality is useful as a macro-level "tin-opener" to identify potential gaps in healthcare delivery â as it was originally intended (and as it was described in the CIHI 2012 Health Indicators Report). We also agree that a good indicator of health system effectiveness should be sensitive to outcomes under the control of the health system. While measuring population health is important for some purposes, we also need to know if people are getting timely access to high-quality care. And so, perhaps most importantly, we agree that finding measures that are more sensitive to health system effectiveness than total mortality is a high priority.
