Features
Time: Wait Time is the average time until seen by a practitioner after arriving at the hospital. Travel Time is the estimated time from your current location to the selected hospital. Total Time is displayed as the sum of Wait Time & Travel Time.
Quality: Quality Index is a singular 0 - 100 measure of a hospital’s quality of care. It is composited from hospital infection rates and hospital timely and effective care measures as reported by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Hospital Quality Initiative. A higher Quality Index indicates a hospital with better rated performance.
Insurance: This feature is only available in the state of Georgia. The panel displays the top five health insurance companies by market size if accepted at a specific hospital. A detailed list of accepted insurance providers can be found in the detailed insurance tab. This information is provided if publicly available and is subject to change.
Charts: Within each hospital panel, interactive charts display specific wait time and quality metrics. Specific hospital metrics are compared against nearby hospitals and state averages.
Ranking: Select one of five different ranking algorithms based on your preferences. The default ranking takes into account quality of care and wait time.
