About

This indicator measures the median wait time in days, where half of the cases waited less than the median and half of the cases waited longer than the median before the knee replacement surgery was completed. 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.

Notes

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
