Wait LIst Statistics

The Cardiac Care Network of Ontario (CCN) was established in 1990 to help address problems in the delivery of adult cardiac surgery in the province. Since then, CCN in conjunction with cardiac centres have worked to help patients receive timely, equitable and appropriate access to adult advanced cardiac services.

CCN's patient registry is widely recognized as an effective way to facilitate and monitor access to cardiac surgery. As a result of this success, expansion of the registry began in 2000 to include cath-lab procedures (cardiac cath and angioplasty/stents). Public reporting on access to cath-lab procedures began in May 2002. As a result, the system for adult advanced cardiac services has been made more accountable to patients, other health-care providers and funders.
