Only 58% of patients are seen within the target 30-minute window, revealing significant opportunity for process improvement. The data shows that implementing a triage protocol could reduce average wait times by 22%.

Peak hours (10AM-2PM) account for 45% of daily ER visits but only 30% of staff shifts. This mismatch suggests potential for dynamic staffing models to improve efficiency.

Patients aged 45-59 account for 32% of ER visits but only 18% of admissions, suggesting potential for urgent care diversion strategies. Pediatric cases (0-14) show the highest satisfaction scores at 4.9/5.

Female patients have 15% longer average wait times but 12% higher satisfaction scores, indicating different expectations and care requirements that could inform service design.

General Practice (42%) and Orthopedics (28%) receive the majority of referrals, suggesting potential for specialist integration in ER to reduce handoff delays.

Referrals made after 6PM take 2.3X longer to process, indicating opportunity for standardized after-hours protocols or telemedicine solutions.
