2011-12 was 62 days, which is one day above the HNHB LHIN target of 61 days. Wait times reported in March 2012 was 60 days.

• Liver, head and neck, lung and prostrate continue

to have highest wait times in the HNHB LHIN. Bone and joint, neurological and thyroid have shown the most improvement in fourth quarter (Q4.)

2011-12 was 46 days, which is two days below the HNHB LHIN target of 48 days. Wait times reported in March 2012 was 20 days.

• Of note, Hamilton Health Sciences is the only

hospital in the HNHB LHIN that performs by-pass surgery.

• The 90th percentile wait time for fiscal year 2011-12 was 143 days, which is 23 days

above the HNHB LHIN target of 120 days.

• Wait times for cataract surgery have shown a steady improvement in Q4. Wait times

improved from 158 days in December 2011 to 147 days in March 2012.

• Three out of five hospitals in HNHB LHIN are above the LHIN target at March 2012.

Total Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery

• The Total Knee Replacement (TKR) 90th percentile

wait time for fiscal year 2011-12 was 267 days, which is 85 days above the HNHB LHIN target of 182 days.

• Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) has

some data quality issues that are driving the high wait times up for knee replacement surgery in the HNHB LHIN.

• The Total Hip Replacement (THR) 90th percentile

wait time for fiscal year 2011-12 was 229 days, which is 52 days above the HNHB LHIN target of 177 days.

• In March 2012 the HNHB LHIN’s 90th percentile wait

time for hip replacement surgery was 175 days which is below the LHIN target of 177 days, the provincial target of 182 days, and the provincial average of 183 days.

• Niagara Health System (NHS) reported a wait time
• f only 89 days in March 2012 for THR surgery.

MRI Scans

• The MRI 90th percentile wait time for fiscal

year 2011-12 was 91 days, which is three days above the HNHB LHIN target of 88 days.

• Wait times for the HNHB LHIN have been

equal to or below the provincial wait time and below the HNHB LHIN target for the past four months, and continues to trend downward. CT Scans

• The 90th percentile wait time for fiscal year

2011-12 was 45 days, which is two days above the HNHB LHIN target of 43 days.

• CT wait times have continued to improve in

March and are below the LHIN target for the second straight month.

% Alternate Level of Care (ALC) Days

• The % ALC Days (closed cases) in 2011-12 showed

improvement from a starting point of 17.88% to a reported low of 12.94% in the first quarter (the lowest rate reported since 2007).

• The LHIN maintained the lower ALC rate (11.9% -

13.1%) from April to August 2011.

• The ALC increased in Q3 (September – December

2011). This was the result of a focused strategy to support individuals experiencing long waits to transition to the right level of care.

• This strategy has resulted in the successful discharge
• f 169 individuals that accumulated over 30,000 ALC

days.

• The LHIN’s internal monitored rate (open cases)

ranged between 13-14% in 2011-12, for a final rate of 13.3% in March 2012. The LHIN performance for 2011 -12 is 15.37%, this rate is based on data from January to December 2011.

90th Percentile Wait Times for Admitted ER Patients

10

Source: MOHLTC MLPA, May 2012

• The ER length of stay (LOS) for patients

admitted to the hospital for the fiscal year 2011-12 was 35.5 hours. This is a decrease

• f 3.4 hours compared to the previous fiscal
• year. The year end performance remains

25% away from the LHIN target.

• The first two quarters showed significant

improvement from April (40.4 hours) to July (28.6 hours), with July ER LOS the lowest in the LHIN for the last four years and 1% variance from target.

• The declining performance of the last half of

the fiscal year is largely driven by three NHS three sites, and Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital’s (JBMH) highly variable ER performance.

90th Percentile Wait Times for Non-Admitted ER Patients

ER LOS – Non-Admitted High Acuity

• The ER LOS for the fiscal year 2011-12 is 7.8

hours, which is 0.1 hours improved over the previous year and remains 0.3 hours from LHIN target.

• There is a four year trend of increasing High

Acuity Patient volumes impacting more significant performance improvement. ER LOS – Non-Admitted Low Acuity

• The ER LOS for the fiscal year 2011-12 was 4.9
• hours. which is 0.1 hours longer than the

previous fiscal year and 0.4 hours from the LHIN Target (or a 8% negative variance).

• LHIN hospitals have implemented Rapid

Assessment Zones, Medical Directives, Physician See and Treat areas, and Nurse Practitioners to improve the flow of the non- admitted low acuity patient group.

Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) In-Home Services Wait Time – Application from Community to first CCAC Service

12

Source: MOHLTC MLPA, May 2012

• Although a three day improvement

was achieved during the year, the 90th percentile wait time at year end was two days over the LHIN target.

• Higher wait time (54 days) reported

for the period of January – March 2011, impacted the LHIN’s year end wait time.

• The peak in wait times during this

time was the result of a number of individuals with low care needs transitioned from CCAC’s wait list to community providers – achieved through one-time funding from the LHIN.

Repeat Unscheduled Emergency Visits within 30 days

Mental Health Conditions

• Repeat unscheduled emergency visits for

mental health conditions increased to 21.3% in Q2 of 2011-12.

• This is the highest rate since wait times

were reported starting Q4 2008-09.

Substance Abuse Conditions

• Repeat unscheduled emergency visits for

substance abuse conditions decreased to 23.0% in Q3 of 2010-11. The HNHB LHIN is working with mental health and substance abuse providers to identify factors contributing to the percent of unplanned ER visits for this population.
