Patients who go to the ER at Alliston’s hospital are now going to have a better idea of how long they will wait.
Stevenson Memorial Hospital has launched a Wait Time Clock for its Emergency Department, that will be displayed both on the hospital’s website and in the Emergency Department waiting room.
The clock displays the number of patients being treated, the number of patients currently waiting, and the estimated wait time to see a doctor, for an initial assessment.
As what is normally done during the hospital’s triage process, patients will be assessed and seen based on the severity of their condition, and the times are not a guarantee.
