New Jersey emergency room wait times

ER wait times › New Jersey

Across 67 New Jersey hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 3 hr 7 min — 37 min longer than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway at 1 hr 54 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.
