This indicator measures the percentage of patients whose emergency department (ED) visit was completed within Ontario's target time. A higher percentage is better. The ED length of stay (LOS) is calculated as the average time interval between the earlier of triage date/time or registration date/time and the date/time when a patient is admitted to the hospital or discharged, transferred, or leaves the ED (non-admitted patients). Provincial targets have been set for the maximum amount of time patients should spend in the ED, waiting and being treated, before being discharged or admitted to the hospital, based on clinical evidence.

This time represents the percentage of patients whose appointment was completed within the access target for the surgical service area being reported. In this case, the higher the percentage completed, the better. Priority levels and access targets are the recommended maximum wait times for wait time to see a surgeon and wait time to surgery.
Priority levels and access targets were created by a Provincial Clinical Expert Panel (Physicians, Clinicians and Healthcare Administrators) based on clinical evidence and are designed to help guide decision making; and, prioritize, manage and improve patient access to services. The
percentage of patients who had their appointment with the surgeon within the
provincial target time represents the ability of the health system to provide
patients with the care they need in a timely way.

This indicator
measures the percentage of patients that require a cardiac surgery or procedure
and receive it within the provincial access target. Wait times were calculated
from the day the patient and doctor decided to go ahead with the surgery or
procedure, to the day it was performed. A higher percentage is better. The
indicator is reported by priority level. Patients are assigned a priority level
for the surgery based on their clinical assessment. The indicator is reported
based on the institution where the surgery took place.
There are three
cardiac surgeries or procedures reported Online: 1.A diagnostic
cardiac catheterization (CATH), or angiography, is a catheter based diagnostic
test that involves selectively injecting x-ray contrast dye into one or more
coronary arteries in order to visualize blockages in the arteries and vessels
that supply blood to the heart. 2.A
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or angioplasty, is a procedure that
involves using a catheter to insert a stent that opens blocked blood vessels in
the coronary arteries. 3.Coronary
artery bypass graft (CABG) is a surgical procedure performed on patients with
coronary artery disease to bypass areas of blockage. Blood vessels, most commonly
from the legs or chest wall, are grafted onto the heart to allow blood to flow
past diseased heart vessels.

This indicator measures the percentage of patients whose surgery was completed within the access target for the surgical service area/surgery being reported. This wait time represents the time, in days, from when the patient and surgeon decides to proceed with surgery to having the surgery completed. In this case, the higher the percentage completed the better. The surgical service area/surgery reported in Measuring Up includes general surgeries, cancer surgeries, hip and knee replacement surgeries. Patients are assigned a priority level for their surgery by the physician based on clinical evidence.
