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.
