Making it work
Having to undergo a cardiac procedure can create stress and
anxiety for the person requiring the care, as well as their loved ones.
Having to wait for that procedure to take place creates additional
stress and worry. As a patient, you want to know that your health
will not be compromised as a result of this wait.

The Cardiac Care Network of Ontario (CCN) established a
provincial system to effectively monitor and manage the
wait times for cardiovascular procedures in all regions
across Ontario, ensuring patients receive the best and
most timely care possible.
 
Moving Forward

As we move forward, Cardiac Care Network of Ontario (CCN) will continue to work closely with member hospitals to provide leadership for monitoring and managing patient access to cardiac services in Ontario, using skills in information sharing, knowledge translation, and collaboration with key stakeholders at the hospital, regional and provincial levels to identify strategies for best practices and system improvements.
