Thanks for this. And great site. I know CIHI has been around for a long time but it's really, really cool to see something impartial and outcomes focused out in the public. I hope you get lots of play.
A question I have always had on wait times - when does the clock start and stop? For example on the radiation waits
I might have a problem (bipopsy)
Holy cow I do have a problem (diagnosed)
Wait to see an oncologist
Radiation is planned
Given date for radiation
Radiation starts
Is the wait time officially the time between the last 2 steps? Between diagnosis and treatment? Something else entirely?
