Rank every Ontario ER by wait time, or pick a hospital and see its trend and faster neighbours.
Average hours from check-in (triage or registration, whichever came first) to first assessment by a doctor, nurse practitioner, or dentist. Plain version: how long you wait before a doctor first sees you.
