In 2017, wait times for kidney transplants in Ontario were getting out of hand. While patients from London Health Sciences Centre’s kidney transplant program in London, Ontario, had a reasonable wait of approximately one year, patients in Toronto's kidney transplant program waited almost four years. In an attempt to improve the overall wait times for all Ontario patients, the provincial Ministry of Health intended to merge the two currently independent programs and create a unified wait-list. Two doctors at London Health Sciences Centre were concerned about the effects of the merger for their patients in London, and asked an analytics specialist to determine the effects of the merger.
