Louisiana emergency room wait times

ER wait times › Louisiana

Across 96 Louisiana hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 10 min — 20 min shorter than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Lady of the Sea General Hospital at 1 hr 2 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.
