Check E-R Wait Times Online

By John

SAN LUIS OBISPO-Sometimes the most painful part about going to the emergency room (ER) is the wait time. Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center, recently introduced a new way for patients to find out ER wait times, before they ever leave the house.

Before heading to the ER, patients can now access the hospital’s website at www.SierraVistaRegional.com and check out the average door-to-bed wait time on the hospital’s homepage. Door-to-bed wait time is the average time a patient waits to be escorted to a bed from the time they arrive in the ER.

The time is tracked using a statistical tracker system that transfers data to an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. The feed automatically displays and updates the time online. Wait times reflect a rolling two-hour average and are updated every five minutes.
