All #WaitTimes are due to understaffed hospitals due to PROVINCIAL Health Funding

When you eliminate incentives for Walk-ins & Community Health Clinics, it forces more patients to crowd ERs with minor ailments

Here's the Choice CANADA 🇨🇦
1) Stable, Effective Healthcare

4/8 The human cost of this "experiment" was immediate and severe.

In Calgary:

👉 #WaitTimes for #LabTests ballooned from days to five weeks.

👉 Critical #diagnostic #errors spiked, with 145 #patient-impacting #errors reported in a single month—including #missed #diagnoses of serious conditions.

5/10 A review of internal #AHS data, obtained by #TheTyee, confirms the warning:

👉 CSFs "skim off the easy surgeries."

👉 Wait times for "low-acuity" (easy) cases like cataracts/knees are marginally reduced.

👉 #WaitTimes for complex, critical cases in the public system increased.

#AbPoli #AbLeg

3/10 The investigation, based on 4 former senior #AHS execs, found the #UCP gov't ignored "repeated warnings, based on data," that rapid #CSF expansion increased public hospital #WaitTimes for critical surgeries—including lung cancer, prostate cancer, and children's organ transplants.

This now seems the norm - 13 hours waiting in A&E.

Don’t get sick or old, folks. And if you do, make sure you have a lovely neighbour.

#ER patients at North York General #hospital rarely land a bed but get seen astonishingly fast. We got a rare look inside to see why it’s better to wait in a chair there.

But would you still want a bed? Or faster care without one?

5/12 The broken system: Even after treating the hip patient, they waited another six hours in the hallway before being moved to a bed.

Thirsk sees increasing wait times in a system struggling with Alberta's population approaching five million.

2/11 The numbers are devastating:
• 18% of Alberta ER patients leave without care
• National average: just 8.5%
• 58% rate ER timeliness as "poor"
• 27% of Albertans visited an ER in the past year

Dr. Shelley Duggan calls this "very troubling" #HealthcareStats #WaitTimes

2/9 The numbers tell a stark story: average Ontario ER visits jumped from 3 hours in 2020 to 4 hours in 2024.

Those needing admission face even worse waits: 16 hours in 2020, now 20 hours in 2024 - well above Ontario's targets.

#EvidenceBasedPolicy #WaitTimes #PublicHealthcare #ABpoli #ABhealth

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is implementing stricter identity proofing requirements starting March 31, 2025, which could significantly increase in-person visits to field offices. This change aims to enhance security and prevent fraud but may lead to delays and longer wait times, reminiscent of DMV experiences. Key details include: - **Stronger Identity Verification**: SSA will require online digital identity proofing or in-person verification for benefit claims and direct deposit changes. Those unable to use online services must visit local offices to prove their identity before completing transactions[1][6][8]. - **Increased Office Visits**: As many as 85,000 additional weekly visitors are expected at SSA field offices, which already experience long wait times. This influx could exacerbate delays for those seeking services[6][8]. - **Expedited Direct Deposit Changes**: The agency will reduce processing times for direct deposit changes from 30 days to one business day, aiming to improve efficiency despite the anticipated increase in office traffic[1]. SSA recommends scheduling appointments for faster service and better management of the expected surge in visitors[1][6][8].
