What Are Emergency Room Wait Times?

 During this COVID crisis time, some of us need to go to an emergency room.  We have heard that wait time can be very long and maybe the emergency room is not even available now.



Margaret Quinn has created a website with information.  The website URL is  https://emergencyroomnearme.org/. It shows ER Wait Times statistics in a straightforward and easy to understand way with charts and numbers. All ER Wait Times data is based on official Medicare Hospital Compare data. She has enhanced hospital data with some features like number of beds, website, location maps and nearby hospitals. The website holds information on more than 4700 Medicare registered hospitals all through the country.

A user can see the performance of the ER department of the hospital, how it compares to state and national data and rating score given by patients.  This is a useful website for many people who want to get information about hospitals and their ER Wait Times.

We hope you find this helpful  We feel a great deal of pressure when we need an emergency, so now you can use this information to plan ahead.
