Tasmanian Government
More health data will be published daily from today, in line with the Tasmanian Government's commitment to openness and transparency.
From today, the Department of Health will commence daily publication of information regarding ambulance response times, all outpatients' statistics, and elective surgery wait list reporting.
These new measures will join existing daily reporting outlining the percentage of ambulance incidents transferred to hospital staff within 60 minutes of arrival across all our major hospitals, along with a range of Emergency Department (ED) measures, including the number of ED presentations, waiting times to be seen, and length of stay in ED.
Minister for Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Bridget Archer, said this will allow a near real-time view of health system performance.
"We are committed to increasing transparency in our health system, and this is an important step that gives Tasmanians even greater access to information about how our health system is performing each day," the Minister said.
"It will also complement other routine reporting, such as reports from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and the annual Report on Government Services."
