In the U.S., the average wait time for a first-time appointment is 24 days (≈3 times faster than in Canada); wait times for Emergency Room (ER) services averaged 24 minutes (more than 4x faster than in Canada); wait times for specialists averaged between 3–6.4 weeks (over 6x faster than in Canada).

The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a five-level emergency department triage algorithm, initially developed in 1998 by emergency physicians Richard Wurez and David Eitel. [1] It was previously maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) but is currently maintained by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA).
Experts say the best time to seek emergency room care is between 6 a.m. and noon. A June 2021 survey from Figure1, a social networking site for the healthcare industry, found that 44% its users ...
The main patient area inside the Mobile Medical Unit operated in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. An emergency department (ED), also known as an accident and emergency department (A&E), emergency room (ER), emergency ward (EW) or casualty department, is a medical treatment facility specializing in emergency medicine, the acute care of patients who present without prior appointment; either by their own ...
The first significant results in this area were Jackson networks, [29] [30] for which an efficient product-form stationary distribution exists and the mean value analysis [31] (which allows average metrics such as throughput and sojourn times) can be computed. [32]
Response time is the total amount of time it takes to respond to a request for service. In computing, that service can be any unit of work from a simple disk IO to loading a complex web page. The response time is the sum of three numbers: [3] Service time - How long it takes to do the work requested.

Quality of service (QoS) is the description or measurement of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network, or a cloud computing service, particularly the performance seen by the users of the network.
