Georgia emergency room wait times

ER wait times › Georgia

Across 137 Georgia hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 49 min — 19 min longer than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Optim Medical Center - Tattnall at 1 hr 6 min.

Medians over a full year, for patients treated and discharged rather than admitted. Busy hospitals treat sicker patients, so a longer wait is not by itself a mark against a hospital. How this measure works.
