About this data
Typical waits use cleartau's observed live-wait median when a hospital has enough recent history; otherwise they fall back to the federal Timely and Effective Care dataset (measure OP_18b). Live waits, when shown, are recent values posted by hospital systems and may change quickly. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911 and do not choose an ER on wait time alone.
