About

This indicator is the percentage of acute care patients who reported that they waited too long to be admitted to a hospital bed [when admission is through ER].

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Hospital Acute Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have an admission through ER. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "yes or no" to the question: After you knew that you needed to be admitted to a hospital bed, did you have to wait too long before getting there?
