About the Cardiac Activity Report

The Cardiac Activity Report provides a system-wide view of cardiac services and waitlist trends across Ontario hospitals. It consolidates key metrics from the CorHealth Cardiac Registry, which is a repository of adult patients (≥18 years of age) who have been referred for select cardiac procedures in Ontario. Information collected in the Registry is used for the purpose of monitoring provincial wait times, supporting system planning, and measuring outcomes related to the provision of cardiac services within Ontario. Regional Cardiac Centres across the province are responsible for contributing, managing, and ensuring the accuracy of their data within the Registry through a web-based application called the CorHealth Data Collection and Information System (DCIS). The Cardiac Activity Report provides key insights on cardiac volumes, waitlist trends and queue, wait times – supporting enhanced situational awareness and the early identification of opportunities to improve cardiac service performance.
