WCWL Mission
…improve the fairness of the system such
that access to appropriate and effective
health care is timely and prioritized on the
basis of need and potential to benefit.
Managing Waiting Times for Scheduled Services
Question addressed
• Should this patient be
placed in the queue?
• What is the correct order
for the queue?
• How long should this
patient wait?
• Can we offer a certain
waiting time?
• What can make the waiting
time experience better?
WCWL research program
* (Funded by AI-HS & CIHR)
• Appropriateness*
• Priority-setting
• Maximum acceptable waiting
times
• Operations research and
scheduling*
• Patient expectations*
Current Work of WCWL Investigators
-focused on hip& knee replacement(AI-HS & CIHR Team Grants)
• Appropriateness (Sub-project 1: Sanmartin)
• Patient expectations (Sub-project 2: Spady)
• Operations research & scheduling (Sub-project 3:
Carter)
• Successful & sustainable WTMS (Sub-project 4: Pomey)
Sub-project Deliverables for Project 1
(AI-HS- & CIHR- funded)
• Appropriateness: .Multi-stakeholder shared decision
aid for appropriateness of TJR
• Patient expectations: .Waiting time trade-offs for
next available surgeon & SEM
.Improved management of the
waiting time experience
• Ops & scheduling:
.Scheduling system for WRHA
.OR tool kit for health authorities
.Systems dynamics model for OA
• Successful & sustainable WTMS .Generalize success
.Tool for managers
Value Proposition of Deliverables
• Appropriateness: a decision aid of value to
patients’ acceptability; surgeons managing
expectations of outcomes; reducing variability;
managing supply-induced demand
• Patient Expectations: better understand &
manage the waiting time experience; improve
satisfaction with surgical outcomes; inform
deliberations around next available surgeon &
single-entry models
Value proposition of Deliverables
• Operations Research & Scheduling: offer a
definite date for surgery; forecast the future &
better planning ; simulate impact of system
changes & perturbations
• Waiting Time Management Strategies:
generalize successful & sustainable
innovations in access management
