Notes:
‘Theatre Occupancy’ is reported as per ‘Theatre Utilisation’ reporting. This includes:
· All elective and emergency theatre sessions with a valid start time on Saturday and Sunday
· Theatre sessions are measured by scheduled start and end times
· Operation time is measured from wheels in to theatre or anaesthetic start time (whichever is earlier), to wheels out of theatre.
· Theatre utilisation is calculated by the total operation time within the scheduled session/total scheduled theatre session length. i.e. it only counts operating time which falls within the scheduled start and end times and does not include early starts and over runs.
· 2019/20 figures represent year to date (YTD) 1 July to 22 December 2019.
· Perth Children's Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital theatre utilisation has been combined.
· Nickol Bay Hospital & Karratha Health Campus theatre utilisation has been combined.
· Carnarvon Hospital reported no weekend theatre sessions for YTD 19/20.
(e)-(e)(i) Detailed information on wait times for non-admitted services are not currently available. A comprehensive, multi-faceted range of Outpatient Reform Projects are currently underway. These projects include extensive work to improve the quality, consistency and accuracy of outpatient data, including how it is categorised, collected and reported.
