Abstract:
Ontario's Wait Time Strategy was designed to improve access to healthcare services in the public system by reducing the time that adult Ontarians wait for services in five areas-cancer surgery, cardiac revascularization procedures (cardiac surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, diagnostic catheterization), cataract surgery, hip and knee total joint replacements and MRI and CT scans.
