Computation: | 100 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator) |
Numerator: | Number of hospital separations involving urgent or semi-urgent surgery for malignant bowel, breast or lung cancer for patients who:
Calculated using hospital separations with:
Calculations exclude people who were on an elective surgery waiting list but were transferred to another hospital's elective surgery waiting list, were treated elsewhere but not on behalf of the hospital, were not contactable, died prior to receiving their surgery or declined surgery.

Numerator data elements: |
|
Denominator: | The number of hospital separations following urgent or semi-urgent surgery for malignant bowel, breast or lung cancer for patients who were on an elective surgery waiting list for that surgery. Calculated using hospital separations as per the numerator. |
Denominator data elements: |
|
Disaggregation: | Hospital and cancer type (principal diagnosis) |
Disaggregation data elements: |
|
Comments: | Reported for hospitals with 10 or more separations in the cohort. Values are rounded up to the nearest whole number. The waiting times are those experienced by people who have received their surgery and are not the waiting times for those patients who are waiting for surgery. For this indicator malignant refers to those cancers that have the ability to progress to more serious disease and spread to surrounding tissue or other organs, if left untreated.

Other issues caveats: | Waiting times are calculated by jurisdictions by subtracting the listing date for care from the removal date, minus any days the patient was waiting with a less urgent clinical urgency category than their clinical urgency category at removal and any not ready for care days that occurred while the patient was listed with the urgency category at removal.
