Emergency Department Wait Times: What Do These Numbers Mean?
Wait times represent the average estimated length of time from registration upon arrival to seeing a licensed independent practitioner (doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant). Times displayed for Virtua Emergency Departments are:
- Reported as an average of wait times for the previous 2 hours of patients that have presented to the emergency department and have been seen by a provider
- Refreshed at least every 15 minutes
Many circumstances can affect wait times - for example, patients arriving by ambulance or with life-threatening injuries or illnesses. Patients with severe conditions will be seen before those with less-serious problems or ailments. These times are provided for informational purposes only and cannot be guaranteed upon arrival.
