New website tracks ER wait times, quality of care
EDMONTON – Albertans can now view emergency room wait times and find out the overall quality of care at 16 emergency rooms across the province.
The Health Quality Council of Alberta says its website is designed to make access to emergency room information easy for health-care providers, decision-makers and the public.
The website can be found at http://focus.hqca.ca.
Much of the information is already publicly accessible, but the council says it’s important to bring all the data into one easy-to-use website. Medicine Hat Regional Hospital is among the hospitals with data available to view.
