DEFINITIONS

Wait time: The point at which 9 out of 10 patients have completed surgery or have had their exam.

Provincial Target: This number represents the Priority 4 access target.
See a full summary of Ontario's Wait Time targets.

Provincial Wait Time: the wait time value calculated from all wait time data submitted in Ontario

LHIN Wait Time: the wait time value calculated from all wait time data submitted for each LHIN.

NV: No or Low Volume. This means that a hospital, which is required to report, either reported that they did not perform this service during the period, or the number of cases reported did not meet the indicator threshold (i.e. number of reported cases was less than 10 for quarterly data and less than 6 for monthly data).

NR: Not required to report. The hospital provides this service, but did not receive extra funding to provide additional treatments this year, and therefore is not required to report wait times.

NA: Not Available (Note: Wait times for prostate and thyroid and endocrine cancers are not available prior to April 2006.)

NS: No service information available. This means that the hospital does not offer this service during the period.

NC: Non-compliant. The hospital did not provide the wait time information by the deadline for publication on this website.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria for wait time reporting: Wait Time is calculated based on closed cases submitted by hospitals. See a full summary of criteria.

Inpatient: A patient who is admitted to a hospital or clinic for treatment that requires at least one overnight stay.

Urgent outpatient: A patient who receives treatment at a hospital that does not require an overnight stay and is unable to wait for a scheduled appointment.
