Here to Perform
Check out the links below to see how we perform as a hospital.
Wait Times
Wait times for healthcare reflect health system accessibility, performance and responsiveness. The Ministry collects data related to wait times for Wait 1 and 2. Wait 1 is defined as the amount of time that the patient waits for a consultation with a clinician. Wait 2 is defined as the amount of time that the patient waits for surgical or diagnostic imaging procedures. The dataset contains administrative, clinical, and demographic data. The Wait Time Information system (WTIS) is a web-based application that enables Ontario Hospitals to capture wait time information related to surgery, diagnostic imaging, and alternate level of care (ALC). It was developed by Ontario Health as part of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Wait Times Strategy and Emergency Room/Alternate Level of Care Information Strategy. Typically, the waitlist entries are opened, modified, and closed using a facilities’ hospital information system (HIS) and submitted to the WTIS electronically via HL& messaging. The public can access Ontario health system performance reports on the Health Quality Ontario website.

SRHC Cost of Standard Hospital Stay (CSHS)
The Cost of Standard Hospital Stay (CSHS) provides a measure of the average financial costs a facility incurs to treat a single patient. The CSHC is calculated and updated annually from CIHI’s Canadian MIS Database (CMDB), based on data from all hospitals in Canada that report data to the CMDB and the DAD24. It is derived using Total Direct Cost (DC) + 30% Indirect Cost (IDC) divided by total weighted cases for costed cases using 2019-20 OCC and clinical data. For those hospitals that have systems in place to measure the actual costs, the overall CSHC of the hospital can be compared to the actual CPWC case for each program23. If the actual CSHC for a program is less, then the program can be considered to be less expensive than the hospital average. The Resource Intensity Weight (RIW) and CSHS/CPWC together provide a simple way to estimate average patient and program costs.
