Wait Times
The Ontario Wait Times website provides wait time information for all Ontarians to see and use to help them make important decisions about the health care they need. The site includes the best available data on wait times, with a breakdown by individual hospitals across Ontario and is regularly updated.
Bone and Joint Health Network
The Champlain LHIN has taken significant strides forward to ensure that there is a surgeon and bed for all of its trauma patients through the development of a regional program. In this new coordinated approach, hospitals with orthopaedic surgery receive patients on a rotating basis to ensure fairness and ease of access. The BJHN has created a document that provides further information on how the program was set up and provides contact information should you have further questions. For more information about the Champlain trauma program please review the article A Coordinated Approach to Managing Single Site Trauma.

Regional Hip and Knee Replacement Program
The program seeks to improve access to timely assessment services for possible total joint replacement surgery (hip or knee replacement only) in the Champlain LHIN. All referrals for potential hip or knee replacement patients should be sent to the regional central intake centre, rather than to individual orthopaedic surgeon offices. The referring physician and patient may choose services from a specific hospital, a specific surgeon, or from the next available hospital/surgeon. Referrals are then directed to one of four assessment centres, depending on choice: Cornwall Community Hospital, Hôpital Montfort, the Queensway Carleton Hospital, or The Ottawa Hospital.
Referral forms and more information can be obtained by visiting www.ChamplainRHKRP.com or by calling 613-721-7890.
Completed referral forms should be faxed to 613-721-7889.
