Average wait time at IWK children’s hospital 6 hours: senior N.S. health officials
“I would say on average probably around four to six hours,” Emma Burns said. “But again that’s very anecdotal. I spoke to a colleague who started a 7 a.m. shift and she was still seeing families who had come in at 8 p.m. the night before. ”She adds ERs are tied up amid a busy season for respiratory illnesses including the flu, RSV, and COVID-19. Burns says kids are also coming in sicker than is typical for the ER.Mobile health clinic in N.S.
“We have more patients per day than our department has ever seen in the history of us recording numbers in the emergency department at the IWK,” Burns said. On average, Burns estimates, 10 per cent of patients will leave the emergency room without being seen by a doctor. She says work is being done to get a grip on the high volume of patients. That includes moving people around to ensure the sickest patients get treated first. They’re also using spaces like the orthopedics clinic at night to help with overflow.
