Wisconsin emergency room wait times
ER wait times › Wisconsin
Across 124 Wisconsin hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 18 min — 12 min shorter than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Edgerton Hospital and Health Services at 1 hr 11 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.
