What needs attention now

Fast scan of current wait-time pressure, sustained averages, and structural data gaps.

Current highest pressure

Abbotsford Regional Hospital

Highest sustained average

Vancouver General Hospital

Average wait time 6h 1m, median wait time 6h 9m

ED access gap

55m longer median wait time

ED median wait time 2h 55m vs UPCC median wait time 2h 0m

Coverage note

11 locations without wait-time readings

Most are configured with wait-time display hidden, so treat this as product state rather than missing telemetry.

Care type

ED vs UPCC

Median wait time and P90 wait time stay separate so tail pressure does not disappear inside an average.

EDMedian wait time 2h 55m / P90 wait time 6h 16m
UPCCMedian wait time 2h 0m / P90 wait time 3h 51m
Median wait timeP90 wait time

Sustained facility pressure

Facilities ranked by P90 wait time. Median wait time shows typical pressure; P90 wait time shows bad-day pressure.

Current wait time vs usual median

Neutral dot is site median wait time; colored dot is current wait time. The line shows the gap.

Tail-risk map

Median wait time vs P90 wait time by facility. Upper-right sites are typically slow and painful in the tail.

Wait-time distribution

How many readings land in each wait-time bucket, useful for long-tail pressure checks.

High standard deviation means the facility swings more than its peers.

Median wait time and P90 wait time first

Average wait time is useful, but median wait time and P90 wait time are better for public pressure and tail-risk decisions.

Baseline per site

Each facility has its own normal range, so alerts compare current wait times to that site's own history.

Separate structural gaps

Locations with hidden wait-time display should be shown as product state, not confused with broken telemetry.

Table

Locations without wait-time readings
