ER waits by state
Median emergency room wait time before admission, by state.
CareTransparency reports and league tables
Here you can browse plain language reports built from the same official datasets that power our hospital and nursing home pages. Each report focuses on one question and includes a downloadable CSV for deeper analysis.
We start simple and expand over time: ER speed, state level comparisons, and staffing patterns. Every report is designed to be understandable to patients and families first, and useful to journalists and analysts as well.

What makes these reports different
- Built from official U.S. datasets only, with clear sourcing and update dates.
- State level comparisons to keep things fair for smaller and rural facilities.
- Plain language explanations and definitions instead of technical jargon.
Planned future reports
Over time we plan to add more cuts of the data, such as penalty histories by chain, repeat deficiency patterns, and staffing changes over time. Each new report will follow the same rules: simple language, clear benefit to real people, and a CSV that you can reuse.
