Edmonton-area emergency wait times now online

Alberta Health Services is now posting wait times for Edmonton area hospitals on it's website. The site uses a software that calculates several factors in the ER and results are updated every 2 minutes.

Emergency Room Wait Times

This project, the first of its kind in Canada, was rolled out in Calgary last July and includes mobile apps for iPhone and Android.

Wait times are approximate and are meant to give patients and estimate for minor ailments. Those with more serious issues will still be given priority.
