Understanding the terms
ER wait time (OP-18b): The official national measure of emergency room wait times—time from arrival until you see a doctor or nurse. Also called ED (Emergency Department) wait time.
Readmissions: When patients need to return to the hospital within 30 days of being discharged. Lower numbers are better.
Complications: Problems that happen during or after medical procedures, measured per 1,000 procedures. Lower numbers are better.
Patient satisfaction: How patients rate their overall experience on surveys conducted by CMS. Higher scores are better.
