The definitions include admission from the elective surgery waiting list where the planned procedure was completed. This also includes patients admitted for the waiting list as an emergency. The number of waiting time days is calculated by subtracting the listing date for care from the removal date, minus any days the patient was 'not ready for care', and minus any days the patient was waiting with a less urgent clinical urgency category than their clinical urgency category at removal. Indicator procedures as defined in the Tasmanian wait list procedure code (TWLPC) set and specify which procedures are included in the calculation of this indicator in accordance with national definitions.
