Yep, it would be a great idea to be able to change it but it is really the whole public hospital system you would have to change as it originates from there. I have worked in hospitals for 23 years and know that, here in Victoria, we have only two types of admissions either elective or emergency. Elective is anything that is scheduled. That can mean a heart bypass or a knee replacement or anything. Often these are also things people don't want to have but circumstances have forced them upon them. so for lots of things the word elective is very misleading, but especially for c/s, it should be scheduled or planned.
