"It is definitely increasing, but is it increasing to the point where it will make a difference in the waiting list?" she said.
Regarding the scheduling of consultations, a 45% difference in the waiting time for a consultation in a FHU was found.
However, for those patients who required CABG following catheterization, there was no difference in the waiting period from catheterization to CABG in both types of hospitals.
However, this study also showed that high SAs used less self-disclosure behaviour than low SAs during both social interactions, a difference that was most pronounced in the waiting room situation.
Could this difference in these waiting time distributions (between the SOC sand-pile model and the neuronal avalanches in culture) be explained by the fact that physiological neuronal systems do not have a separation of timescales?
As a result, the difference in the average waiting time of each flow's packet is low.
A recent Canadian study (Johnston et al, 2004) of waiting times from diagnosis to radiotherapy in patients with breast, lung, colorectal or prostate cancer found differences in median waiting times between the different cancer sites similar to those seen in our study.
But providers explained that the differences in waiting times by the insured and uninsured was due to the processes that the insured goes through in terms of documentation.
The main findings of this study are the differences in waiting times for radiotherapy between different cancer networks and different cancer sites, and the large increase in waiting times observed over the 10-year period of the study.
These differences in median waiting times were significant for overall and for radical cases, but not for palliative cases using the Wilcoxon two-sample test.
