Notes

Data extraction date

All data in this report is as at the end of the last day of each reported month. Data revision

The most recent edition of reports should be consulted in case previously published data have been revised. Revisions can be due to updates to procedure codes, lags in data processing or other types of errors detected after publication. Data source

Wait list extract data in ESWL reports are from the HCARe (Health Care and Related Information System), TOPAS (The Open Patient Administration System), webPAS (Web-based Patient Administration System) and Joondalup and Peel data systems. Data in this report are sourced from the Wait List Data Collection (WLDC). Data coverage

From October 2014 Fiona Stanley Hospital data have been included in the report.

Royal Perth Rehabilitation Hospital was closed in early October 2014.

Kaleeya Hospital was closed in early December 2014.

Due to issues associated with the implementation of a new data administration system at Peel Health Campus (PHC), November and December 2014 data have not been included in this report. As a result, the total number of reported cases on the ESWL was lower in November and December 2014. Therefore, caution must be taken when comparing the data with the previous year. Data definitions

Data in ESWL reports are based on Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reporting guidelines. Effects of rounding

Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals. Published percentages are calculated prior to rounding of the figures and therefore some discrepancy may exist between these percentages and those that could be calculated from the rounded figures. Metropolitan public hospitals

The term ‘metropolitan public hospital’ refers to the following public hospitals – Armadale-Kelmscott Memorial Hospital, Bentley Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Fremantle Hospital, Joondalup Health Campus, Kalamunda Hospital, Kaleeya Hospital, King Edward Memorial Hospital, Osborne Park Hospital, Peel Health Campus, Princess Margaret Hospital, Rockingham General Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Swan District Hospital.

Notes (continued)

Specialty

Specialty is “The area of clinical expertise held by the doctor who will perform the elective surgery”. (Source: Australian Hospital Statistics, AIHW.) Indicator procedure

“An indicator procedure is a procedure which is of high volume and is often associated with long waiting periods. Elective surgery waiting time statistics for indicator procedures give a specific indication of waiting time for these particular areas of elective care provision.” (Source: Australian Hospital Statistics, AIHW.)

National Elective Surgery Targets (NEST)

On 13 February 2011 the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to the National Partnership Agreement (NPA) on Improving Public Hospital Services, which aims, among other initiatives, to improve public access to elective surgery. The NPA provides funding to assist meeting the ESWL targets. These targets, together with associated reward payments, are designed to improve access for elective surgery patients. NPA targets for WA are outlined in the tables below. Proportion of cases treated within clinically recommended time:

Category 31-Dec-12 31-Dec-13 31-Dec-14 31-Dec-15

1 94.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

2 84.0% 88.0% 95.0% 100.0%

3 98.0% 98.0% 98.5% 100.0%

Average overdue wait time (in days) for those that have waited beyond the clinically recommended time:

Category 31-Dec-12 31-Dec-13 31-Dec-14 31-Dec-15

1 0 0 0 0

2 68 45 23 0

3 65 44 22 0

Data for On List cases are preliminary as they are snapshots as at the end of each month. The On List NEST average overdue wait time for those who have waited beyond the recommended time are not assessed until 31 December 2015. Within boundary cases

A patient who has been waiting less than the recommended period in one of the three clinical urgency categories is defined as being within boundary. The clinical urgency categories prioritise patients from least urgent (Category 3) to most urgent (Category 1). Over boundary cases

A patient who has been waiting more than the recommended period in one of the three clinical urgency categories is defined as being over boundary.

x

Notes (continued)

Category 1

Admission within 30 days is desirable for a condition that has the potential to deteriorate quickly to the point that it might become an emergency.

Category 2

Admission within 90 days is desirable for a condition causing pain, dysfunction or disability, which is not likely to deteriorate quickly or become an emergency. Category 3

Admission at some time in the future is acceptable for a condition causing minimal or no pain, dysfunction or disability that is unlikely to deteriorate quickly and does not have the potential to become an emergency. For the purpose of identifying Category 3 patients who are waiting within or over boundary, WA has adopted the AIHW specified boundary used to define an ‘extended wait’, i.e. patients waiting more than 365 days. Admissions to hospital from the elective surgery wait lists

Cases admitted from the waiting lists are patients admitted from the waiting lists to hospital to have their elective surgery. They are called cases (rather than patients) because someone may have been admitted for elective surgery on more than one occasion. For example, if a patient was admitted twice during the reporting period, then they will be counted as two cases.

Admissions include all cases admitted regardless of client listing status. Admitted coded cases are excluded where the wait listed procedure is on the AIHW

‘Excluded procedures’ list.

Admitted uncoded cases (i.e. the wait listed procedure is not coded) are included if the wait list type equals ‘Surgical’ and the wait list category equals ‘Elective’.

Removals from the elective surgery wait lists for reasons other than admission

Wait list ‘Removals’ are removals from a list for reasons other than admission to hospital for elective surgery, including that a patient on an elective surgery wait list was admitted as an emergency admission for their surgery, that the procedure was no longer required (e.g. patient had their procedure in a private hospital), the patient was non-contactable (e.g. as part of audit procedures to check whether the patient still required their surgery), or that the database entry was incorrect (e.g. a duplicate case). Wait list removals include all cases removed regardless of client listing status, but exclude removals where the reason for removal = ‘Transfer to another hospital’. Number on wait list at end of period

Cases on the ESWLs represent the number of patients waiting. They are called cases (rather than patients) because someone may be on a waiting list more than once. For example, if a patient is on a waiting list twice for two different procedures, then they will be counted as two cases.

xi

Notes (continued)

On List cases must have a client listing status equal to RFC. On List RFC coded cases are excluded where the waitlisted procedure is on the AIHW

‘Excluded procedures’ list.

On List cases are included if the wait list type equals ‘Surgical’ and the wait list category equals ‘Elective’.

Wait list activity

The following notes specifically relate to the summary of monthly wait list activity reported in Tables A-16 to A-18.

On wait list variations

This refers to fluctuations in the number of cases on a wait list that cannot be attributed to additions, admissions or removals. These include:

reversals of previously removed cases, which means that a case reappears on the list without it being recorded as an ‘addition’ to the list during that time period

deferred cases becoming ready for care (RFC) (appearing on the list without being recorded as an ‘addition’)

staged cases becoming RFC (appearing on the list without being recorded as an addition)

RFC cases becoming deferred (i.e. disappearing from the ‘Reportable on-list’ cases, but not being recorded as a removal)

cases appearing on or disappearing from the list if the procedure code is changed (e.g. due to the wrong procedure being recorded in the first place) from a reportable to a non-reportable procedure or vice versa (uncoded cases are a prime example of this)

cases that have been added to the wait list, with the wait list date backdated (e.g. due to coding/data entry delays), so that the case does not get recorded as an addition.

Confidentiality

Table cells are marked with (*) to indicate when data have been suppressed to protect patient and clinician confidentiality where either:

the indicator procedure or specialty in a hospital has only one surgeon and the number of cases in that indicator procedure or specialty is less than 10; or

the total number of cases in a hospital for that indicator procedure or specialty is less than five;

and

any data cells with fewer than 5 cases within individual indicator procedures and urgency categories; and

to include all suppressed number of cases in the “Uncoded/other” procedure category to maintain the actual total number.

Note: For Tables B-1 to B-16, the data suppression will not impact on the calculation of the median waiting time and percentage of cases within boundary. Therefore, a calculation of the percentage of cases within boundary using the suppressed data may not agree with the results for listed procedures.

xii

Glossary Mean: This refers to the arithmetic mean, being the sum of all values in the list divided by the number of items in the list. The mean is the most commonly used type of average and can also be referred to simply as the average. Median: This refers to the value separating the higher half of a sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. This statistic is used, in preference to the mean, when the distribution of the values is skewed by a small number of very high values. 90th percentile: This refers to the value in the list below which there are 90 percent of

numbers and enables waiting times to be expressed as a percentile rank. However, as percentile ranks are not on equal interval scales, the difference between any two scores is not the same as between any other two scores. For instance, the difference (25) between 90 and 65 is not the same as the difference (25) between 50 and 25 because the position rank of a percentile is based on an assumed normal distribution of all values.

1. Executive summary The purpose of this report is to provide information on elective surgery wait lists for Western Australian public hospitals. The report shows current activity and trends pertaining to the elective surgery wait lists. In February 2011 Western Australia (WA) signed The National Health Reform Agreement – National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services, which outlines ongoing quarterly reporting of the 2008 Elective Surgery Waiting List Reduction Plan. As part of the Commonwealth government’s reporting requirements, this report contains data on progress against national performance measures.

Current activity: May 2015 At the end of May 2015 there was a total of 18,030 cases on elective surgery wait lists (ESWLs) at all public hospitals, of which 16,668 (92.4%) were within boundary. Of the 18,030 cases, 14,388 (79.8%) were on the metropolitan ESWLs and 3,642 (20.2%) were on the WACHS ESWLs. The median waiting time for all patients on all ESWLs was 2.27 months, with a median waiting time of 2.37 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and 2.17 months for the WACHS ESWLs. In May 2015 there was a total of 7,216 admissions from ESWLs at all public hospitals, of which 6,735 (93.3%) were within boundary. Of the 7,216 admissions, 5,787 (80.2%) were from the metropolitan ESWLs and 1,429 (19.8%) were from the WACHS ESWLs. The median waiting time for all admissions from ESWLs was 1.02 months. The figure for the metropolitan ESWLs was 0.99 months while the WACHS ESWLs was 1.15 months.

Trends in waiting times for all ESWLs: May 2013, May 2014 and May 2015 The median waiting time for all cases on ESWLs at all public hospitals in the current month was 2.27 months, compared with a median waiting time of 1.91 months one year ago and 1.84 months two years ago. The median waiting time for over boundary cases on ESWLs at all public hospitals in the current month was 5.69 months, compared with a median waiting time of 4.01 months one year ago and 5.26 months two years ago. The median waiting time for within boundary cases on ESWLs at all public hospitals in the current month was 2.04 months, compared with a median waiting time of 1.87 months one year ago and 1.71 months two years ago.

2

Trends in waiting times for metropolitan and WACHS ESWLs: May 2013 to May 2015 The median waiting time of cases waiting increased from 1.74 to 2.37 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and increased from 2.10 to 2.17 months for the WACHS ESWLs.

The 90th percentile waiting time of cases waiting increased from 7.07 to 8.15 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and decreased from 8.68 to 8.25 months for the WACHS ESWLs.

The median waiting time of ESWLs admissions remained at 0.99 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and increased from 1.12 to 1.15 months for the WACHS ESWLs.

The 90th percentile waiting time of ESWLs admissions increased from 5.29 to 6.12 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and increased from 4.83 to 5.82 months for the WACHS ESWLs.

2. Cases on wait list

2.1 Number of cases Table 1 (page 2) provides comparative data on the number of cases on all, metropolitan and WACHS public hospital ESWLs for the current reporting month, the previous month and the same month last year. This table shows that at 31 May 2015, of the 18,030 cases on all ESWLs, 14,388 (79.8%) were on the metropolitan ESWLs and 3,642 (20.2%) were on the WACHS ESWLs. The total of 18,030 cases on all ESWLs was a decrease of 273 from the previous month (18,303) and an increase of 1,743 over the same month last year (16,287).

2.2 Waiting times Table 1 (page 2) shows the median and 90th percentile waiting times on all, the metropolitan and the WACHS ESWLs for the current reporting month, the previous month and the same month last year. This table shows that the median waiting time for all patients on all ESWLs was 2.27 months, with a median waiting time of 2.37 months for the metropolitan ESWLs and 2.17 months for the WACHS ESWLs. Figure 3 (page 4) and Figures 4 and 5 (page 5) show median and 90th percentile waiting times and linear trendlines for all, the metropolitan and the WACHS ESWLs over the past two years. As at 31 May 2015, of the 18,030 cases on all ESWLs, 318 (1.8%) had been waiting for more than 365 days, 260 (1.4%) had been waiting between 366 and 500 days, and 58 (0.3%) had been waiting for more than 500 days (Table A-7, page 28). This means that at the end of the current reporting month, 98.2% of cases on all ESWLs had been waiting for 365 days or less. See Tables A-8 and A-9 (pages 29 and 30) for data from January 2013 for cases by duration for metropolitan and WACHS ESWLs respectively. Table 2 (page 6) shows that the median waiting time on all ESWLs for the quarter was 69 days, ranging from 9 days for Category 1 cases to 97 days for Category 3 cases.

Figure 8 (page 8) shows Category 1 over boundary cases and a linear regression trendline over the past two years. The noted high number of Category 1 over boundary cases at the end of March and April 2015 was the result of reconfiguration activity across the system to accommodate the full operational opening of Fiona Stanley Hospital in February 2015. The total number of Category 1 over boundary cases has reduced from 104 at the end of last month to 73 at the end of May 2015.

3. Admissions from wait list

3.1 Number of cases Table 3 (page 11) provides comparative data on the number of admissions from all, metropolitan and WACHS ESWLs for the current reporting month, the previous month and the same month last year. Table 3 shows that overall in May 2015, of the 7,216 admissions, 5,787 (80.2%) were from the metropolitan ESWLs and 1,429 (19.8%) were from the WACHS ESWLs. The total of 7,216 admissions from all ESWLs was an increase of 1,220 from the previous month (5,996) and a decrease of 365 over the same month last year (7,581). See Table A-2 (page 23) for monthly data from January 2013 for admissions from all ESWLs. The total of 5,787 admissions from the metropolitan ESWLs was an increase of 1,058 from the previous month (4,729) and a decrease of 212 over the same month last year (5,999). See Table A-4 (page 25) for monthly data from January 2013 for admissions from the metropolitan ESWLs. The total of 1,429 admissions from the WACHS ESWLs was an increase of 162 from the previous month (1,267) and a decrease of 153 over the same month last year (1,582). See Table A-6 (page 27) for monthly data from January 2013 for admissions from the WACHS ESWLs.

Figure 16: WACHS ESWL admissions, median and 90th percentile waiting time (months) to admission, May 2013 - May 2015

For admissions by urgency category from January 2013 see Tables A-13 to A-15 (pages 34 to 36) for all ESWLs, the metropolitan ESWLs and the WACHS ESWLs, respectively.

3.2 Waiting times Table 3 (page 11) shows the median and 90th percentile waiting time to admission from all, metropolitan and WACHS ESWLs for the current reporting month, the previous month and the same month last year.

Figures 14 and 15 (page 12) and Figure 16 (page 13) show median and 90th percentile waiting times and linear regression trendlines for all, metropolitan and WACHS ESWL admissions over the past two years.

In the March 2015 quarter, there was a total of 18,642 admissions from ESWLs, of which 17,429 (93.5%) were treated within the clinically desirable waiting time (Table 4, page 14). Table 4 (page 14) shows that the median waiting time for the quarter was 32 days, ranging from 10 days for Category 1 cases to 63 days for Category 3 cases.

Appendix B (pages 43 to 50) contains detailed quarterly tables for the whole State, the metropolitan area, WACHS and each of the metropolitan hospitals. The tables include median waiting times for admissions and a breakdown of admissions (within boundary and total) by urgency category for each indicator procedure.

3.3 Indicator procedures Of the 18,642 admissions for the current quarter, 6,845 (36.7%) are covered by the 15 specified surgical indicator procedures, and the remaining 11,797 (63.3%) are classified as ‘other’ procedures. (Refer to Appendix B and Notes section for further information.)

4. Ambulatory Surgery Initiative

Table 5 (page 15) shows that in May 2015, a total of 590 cases were undertaken at public hospitals that participated in the Ambulatory Surgery Initiative (ASI). The majority of these 590 cases were at metropolitan hospitals, which accounted for 540 (91.5%) of all cases, with the remaining 50 (8.5%) cases at WACHS hospitals. See Table A-19 (page 40) for monthly ASI cases for the metropolitan area, WACHS and the whole state from January 2013 up to the present. Table 6 (page 15 and 16) provides a summary of annual ESWL and ASI admissions in WA from 2006/2007 to 2014/2015 (current month). Admissions from ESWLs increased by 16,480 from 2006/2007 (69,342 cases) to 2013/2014 (85,822 cases). Over the same period, ASI cases grew by 964, from 8,629 cases in 2006/2007 to 9,593 cases in 2013/2014. From 2006/2007 (77,971 cases) to 2013/2014 (95,415 cases), there was an overall growth of 22.4% in the total number of combined ESWL and ASI cases completed.

5. Wait list activity At the end of each month, the total number of cases on ESWLs consists of existing cases plus additions to and subtractions from the wait list during that month. Additions and subtractions consist of: new cases added, adjustments (e.g. reportable to not reportable or vice versa due to changes in client status), and cases admitted to hospital or removed from the ESWLs. Figure 17 (page 16) and Figures 18 and 19 (page 17) show monthly activity in terms of additions, admissions and removals from all, the metropolitan and the WACHS ESWLs over the past two years respectively. For additional explanatory information see the Notes section. For monthly ESWL activity from January 2013 see Tables A-16 to A-18 (pages 37 to 39) for all ESWLs, the metropolitan ESWLs and the WACHS ESWLs respectively.

6. National Elective Surgery Targets

Table A-20 (page 41), Figures 20 and 21 (page 18) and Figure 22 (page 19) show the National Elective Surgery Target (NEST) 2015 cases treated within clinically recommended time by category for WA. Of the cases treated within clinically recommended times, 0.97% were Category 1, 0.62% Category 2 and 0.11% Category 3 emergency admissions in YTD May 2015. Table A-21 (page 41), Figure 23 (page 19) and Figures 24 and 25 (page 20) show the NEST 2015 average overdue wait time (days) for cases that have waited beyond the clinically recommended time by category for WA.
