In the 2004 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care, first ministers identified wait times reduction as a top priority for the Canadian health system.
This week, CIHI released a report outlining progress on wait times in five out of eight priority procedures, namely:
- Radiation therapy for cancer
- Cardiac bypass surgery
- Hip and knee replacements
- Hip fracture repair
- Cataract surgery
We report on wait times, most recently in our Progress Report 2011; this Spring, we’ll update you through Progress Report 2013. In the summer we’ll have more, as we release a video series on wait times challenges and innovative practices in Canada through our Health Innovation Portal and online.
