| Wait Times Tools Developed by NWTI-Funded Projects | |
|---|---|
| Project and Project Leads | Tool Developed |
| Summit on Standards on Arthritis Prevention and Care - Alliance for the Canadian Arthritis Program | Twelve standards for arthritis prevention and care were identified. For each of these standards, action plans were developed and facilitators and potential barriers were identified. |
| Strategy to Address Hip and Knee Surgery Wait Times - Bone and Joint Canada | The project established a framework/model of care for hip and knee surgery. |
| Hip and Knee Surgery Wait Times Strategy - Phase III - Bone and Joint Canada | The project compiled and integrated resources and best practices from across the country. The resources were then included in a comprehensive toolkit that was shared nationally to help in the implementation of a Core Model of Care. |
