Washington emergency room wait times

ER wait times › Washington

Across 79 Washington hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 51 min — 21 min longer than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Garfield County Public Hospital District #1 at 1 hr 22 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.
