This indicator measures the percentage of patients that require urgent diagnostic cardiac catheterization and receive it within the recommended maximum wait time target. Wait times were calculated from the day the patient and doctor decided to go ahead with the procedure, to the day it was performed. A higher percentage is better.
All adult urgent diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures that are done within Ontario's 18 advanced cardiac service hospitals
Inclusion:
1. Static (month-end) Data
2. Must be onlisted and offlisted as that procedure : Onlisted and offlisted refers to being put on the waiting list. Once a patient sees a specialist (cardiologist, cardiac surgeon) and that physician accepts the patient for a procedure (CATH, PCI, CABG) they are "onlisted" to the wait list. Once the patient receives their treatment and the procedure is over the patient is "offlisted" from the wait list (because the treatment is done).
3. Ontario patients with valid OHIP
4. Takes into account up to one DART* per patient. If a patient has two DARTs, the second one will not be counted. *DART stands for Dates Affecting Readiness to Treat. It means that a wait list clock is paused because the patient asked the physician to pause it.
Exclusion:
1.Patients who die before they receive their procedures
