Surgery Waiting List > Maximum Waiting Time Summary

The Maximum Waiting Time Summary component provides a snapshot of patients waiting longer than their clinically recommended timeframes. It compares the number of patients above target this week versus last week, highlighting week-to-week changes, year-to-date (YTD) movement, and the current longest wait by specialty and hospital.

Users can filter by specialty, procedure type, category, and waiting time threshold (e.g., 10/12 weeks, 6/9/12/15 months, or 4 years) to identify areas where patients are waiting beyond maximum limits. Data updates daily in SystemView.
