Island Health now posting estimated wait times at hospital emergency rooms

Island Health has introduced an online page to post estimated wait times for emergency departments at its eight major hospitals.
The wait times are calculated using data from the past eight weeks and will be updated based on current emergency department conditions.
Island Health expects that nine out of ten patients will be seen within the estimated wait time, according to Marko Peljhan, their vice-president for acute clinical operations.
Island Health requests patience as wait times may fluctuate due to patient needs and demand after the website's launch.
