The New Brunswick Surgical Care Network is about provider better health care for New Brunswickers in a timely manner. Currently, health care providers and the public are concerned about the wait times for surgery. This Network will begin to review the current wait times in New Brunswick and determine the factors influencing wait times. A few of the objectives behind SCN ( Surgical Care Network) is to ensure fairness , based on patient needs, appropriateness of wait times based on target surgery times, and certainty, meaning patients have an understanding of expected wait times.
This initiative is in the beginning stages in our province , with SERHA , the Moncton Hospital being the pilot site for implementation . The Moncton Hospital is now placing patients on a computerized provincial surgical patient registry , that will be connected to all other Regional Health Authorities by year end. This integrated wait list will give the province a more accurate and up to date wait list, to assess where extra resources may be required to assist Authorities to reach target surgical times based on patients condition.
The surgical access management strategy will result in a comprehensive, patient-centered system that continually monitors and manages wait times, while working towards making improvements in how efficiently and effectively care is delivered, as well as make wait time information available to the public and health care providers.
Saskatchewan has had this initiative in place for a couple of years now and has been able to reduce their wait list, impacting wait times. This initiative is being implemented across Canada, to provide both the public and the province, with accurate and detailed wait list information.
