When coming to the Emergency Department, please bring:
Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre’s estimated Emergency Department wait times are provided as a general guideline and are based on current patient volume and acuity. Actual wait times may vary.
Please note:
The wait time represented here is the time between triage by a nurse and assessment by a Physician or Nurse Practitioner.
Emergency Department Total patients = Total number of patients in the department that have been seen or are waiting to see a Physician or Nurse Practitioner.
Being Treated = Patients who have had an initial assessment completed by a Physician or Nurse Practitioner.
Patients Waiting = Patients who have not yet had an initial assessment by a Physician or Nurse Practitioner.
The graph represents the 90th percentile wait time to see a Physician or Nurse Practitioner at different times of the day and is based on data for the past 30 days at ERHHC. The orange NOW bar represents the current time of day.
Web-based software takes our historic and real-time data and turns it into an understandable report, similar to the weather forecast. Just like the weather, it is important to understand that the data posted here represents the most current information about the probability of waiting for a certain time. This automated system refreshes the data in real-time, ensuring the most accurate information is displayed.
