Computation description: | A patient may be 'ready for care' or 'not ready for care'. Ready for care patients are those who are prepared to be admitted to hospital or to begin the process leading directly to admission. Not ready for care patients are those who are not in a position to be admitted to hospital. These patients are either:
Staged and deferred patients should not be confused with patients whose operation is postponed for reasons other than their own unavailability, for example; surgeon unavailable, operating theatre time unavailable owing to emergency workload. These patients are still 'ready for care'. Patients who are not ready for care should be excluded from calculation. The recommended wait time before treatment, in days, for urgency category 1 patients is 30 days or less (i.e. <= 30 days). See Tasmanian wait list procedure code (TWLPC) for a list of indicator procedures. |
