This indicator
measures the average time patients waited for a cardiac surgery or procedure.
Wait times were calculated from the day the patient and doctor decided to go
ahead with the surgery or procedure, to the day the surgery or procedure was
performed. A lower value is better. The wait time is reported for each priority
level. Patients are assigned a priority level for surgery or procedure based on
their clinical assessment. The indicator is reported based on the institution
where the surgery or procedure 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 time represents the average wait time, in days, from when the diagnostic imaging scan was ordered to having the scan completed. The average time represents the typical time patients can expect to wait for the scan to be completed. The average wait time is reported by the priority level with the most patients. Patients are assigned a priority level for their scan by the physician based on clinical evidence. In this case, the lower the number of days, the better.

The average time Wait 1 represents the typical time patients could expect to wait for the first appointment with the surgeon. The average wait time is reported by the priority level with the most patients. Patients are assigned a priority level for their appointment by the physician based on clinical evidence. In this case, the lower the number of days, the better.

This time represents the average wait time, in days, from when the patient and surgeon decides to proceed with surgery to having the surgery completed. The average time Wait 2 represents the typical time patients can expect to wait for the surgery to be completed. The average wait time is reported by the priority level with the most patients. Patients are assigned a priority level for their surgery by the physician based on clinical evidence. In this case, the lower the number of days, the better.
