Ontario's wait time strategy: part 1

Ontario's wait time strategy: part 1

Joann Trypuc et al. Healthc Q. 2006.

Abstract

Ontario's Wait Time Strategy was designed to improve access to healthcare services in the public system by reducing the time that adult Ontarians wait for services in five areas-cancer surgery, cardiac revascularization procedures (cardiac surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, diagnostic catheterization), cataract surgery, hip and knee total joint replacements and MRI and CT scans. These five are just the beginning of an ongoing process to improve access to, and reduce wait times for, a broad range of healthcare services.
