Excluded Cases

Emergency cases (a situation where a patient arrives through the Emergency Department of a hospital and/or requires immediate treatment due to an imminently life-threatening condition) are excluded from these wait times, with the exception of Cancer Surgery.

How is the data collected?

Except where noted, the data is sent electronically from hospitals directly to the Wait Times Information Strategy Office, where it is analyzed and posted on this web site. To better understand the data on this web site, how it was calculated and its limitations, please read the Wait Times Data Guide.
Why are wait times not reported for all hospitals?

Currently, only hospitals receiving additional funding for extra cases through the Wait Time Strategy are required to report wait times for their key services. There are other hospitals that provide these services, but are not currently required to report their wait times. The long-term goal is to require all hospitals to report wait times on all surgical procedures.

The provincial Wait Times Strategy is currently developing an information system that will measure and report wait times for all patients receiving these services across the province. This system will be in place for approximately 80 per cent of patients by the end of 2006. Until the system is implemented, not all hospitals will be able to report their wait times.
