Nebraska emergency room wait times
ER wait times › Nebraska
Across 84 Nebraska hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 1 hr 54 min — 36 min shorter than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Genoa Community Hospital at 1 hr 20 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.
