Objective: To develop benchmarks for wait times for obstetrics and
gynaecology.
Methods: An expert panel reviewed the literature published from
1995 to September 30, 2007, and provided recommendations.
Evidence: The benchmarks in this document were recommended by
the SOGC ad hoc Committee on Wait Times, which includes
members with expertise in obstetrics, gynaecology,
urogynaecology, and gynaecologic oncology. A literature review
was conducted on wait times and access to care, and existing
clinical practice guidelines and standards of care documents were
reviewed.
This policy, developed by the SOGC ad hoc Committee on Wait
Times, was adopted by the SOGC Council at its meeting on
November 10, 2007. The SOGC Council includes representatives
from all regions of Canada, experts from all areas of practice in
obstetrics and gynaecology, family physicians, nurses, midwives,
program directors, and residents, as well as a public
representative.
Outcomes: Development through consensus of recommended wait
times in obstetrics and gynaecology.
