To provide our members with greater insights into surgical/procedural wait times and surgical backlogs across the country we are providing you with a dashboard that highlights publicly available data broken down by province.

Each province has different available data points and certain caveats, which are provided in the chart. As is indicated on the dashboard, the wait times data that is provided by the provinces does not include “unscheduled” patients, such as those who need to receive care in the near future but have yet to be formally booked into the system. The wait times data only includes patients who were evaluated by a specialist for surgery or other specialized care.

The dashboard will be updated as required.  

This is just one measure we’re undertaking to help our members’ business planning needs, as well supporting our members’ ability to continue to support the Canadian healthcare system.
