Understanding the terms

ER wait time (OP-18b): The official national measure of emergency room wait times—time from arrival until you see a doctor or nurse. Also called ED (Emergency Department) wait time.
Readmissions: When patients need to return to the hospital within 30 days of being discharged. Lower numbers are better.
Complications: Problems that happen during or after medical procedures, measured per 1,000 procedures. Lower numbers are better.
Patient satisfaction: How patients rate their overall experience on surveys conducted by CMS. Higher scores are better.

When to prioritize speed vs safety

Life-threatening: Go to the closest ER

  • Severe chest pain or trouble breathing
  • Heavy bleeding or major injuries
  • Stroke symptoms or seizures
  • Severe allergic reactions

Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital immediately.

Urgent but stable: Consider wait times

  • Possible broken bones
  • High fever or severe pain
  • Deep cuts needing stitches
  • Bad sprains or sports injuries

Compare nearby hospitals for faster care.
