Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:However, the scorecard approach used has certain limitations. For one, a restricted list of social marker indicators was used. Future expanded versions of an equity-oriented scorecard could assess COVID-19 outcome reporting according to indicators such as preferred language, year of immigration, disability status, sexual orientation, housing status, level of social support, gender, Indigenous identity, or education level.17 Second, by evaluating provincial or territorial reporting, this scorecard assessment did not address more detailed reporting efforts in smaller public health units. For instance, detailed neighbourhood-level reporting efforts have been made by Montreal Public Health25 and several public health units in Ontario.26 The present scan was restricted to provincial and territorial reporting in order to contrast between jurisdictions on a national scale. Future scans of best practices at the regional level may be warranted. Further, this scan excludes information sharing by federal bodies such as the Correctional Service of Canada’s reporting on cases within federal penitentiaries.27 Future reporting assessements asessing federal-level reporting may also be warranted.
