What Are the Latest Stats on Hallway Health Care? That’s Not Public Anymore
Ontario Health removed the hallway-care metric and other delayed indicators from its report while adding 21 new performance measures to focus beyond COVID-19 recovery.
- The public annual report released last month omits the hallway-care metric, listing it as to be retired from the 2024-25 report, according to Ontario Health.
- Ontario Health said it revised indicators to move beyond those focused on COVID-19 recovery and removed delayed measures, adding 21 new indicators while continuing to track others outside the annual report.
- Reports show averages of 1,390 patients treated daily in unconventional spaces in early 2024 and 1,860 in January 2024, according to Ontario Health.
- Ontario opposition parties and frontline emergency clinicians argued the hallway care metric is essential, with Shamji calling the numbers 'unacceptably high' and criticizing transparency.
- With the 2026 budget approaching, Ontario Health said it still monitors key metrics outside the annual report, while hospitals warned of rising costs and 'deepening structural' deficits.
