About

This indicator mesures the percentage of cataract surgeries completed within the national benchmark of 112 days. Data is based on a 3-month reporting period and refers to the place of service (where the surgery is performed). Data is reported quarterly.

Source

NB Department of Health, Surgical Access Registry

Notes

For the reporting periods Apr-Jun 2023, Jul-Sep 2023 and part of Oct-Dec 2023, the Surgical Access Registry did not receive complete data for Zone 7, due to the implementation of private clinics doing public Cataract Procedures. Data on cataract surgery should therefore be interpreted with caution for these three reporting periods.
Wait times are calculated from the date that the patient and surgeon determine that the patient needs surgery and the patient is ready to receive it and ends on the date when the surgery is performed. This indicator does not include emergency surgeries. Timeframes during which the patient was not available to have surgery are excluded from the wait time calculations. Source data is from the Provincial Surgical Access Registry.
