Idaho emergency room wait times
ER wait times › Idaho
Across 39 Idaho hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 9 min — 21 min shorter than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Power County Hospital District at 1 hr 25 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.
