One place to see how busy US healthcare is, right now

The US has no single nationwide wait feed. Every state, health system, and urgent care chain publishes differently. ERClock layers them: HCA's national feed, LifePoint, Trinity Health and Sutter via Epic MyChart, Prime Healthcare, Stanford, UCSD, MarinHealth, Clockwise.MD, Cleveland Clinic FHIR, and more. The CMS Hospital General Information directory fills the gaps so every Medicare-certified ER appears, even when no live data is published.

Where this data comes from

We aggregate publicly published wait times from US health systems and hospitals, joined with the federal CMS Hospital General Information directory.

Health-system feeds

Live wait time JSON / HTML widgets published by HCA Healthcare, LifePoint, Trinity Health, Sutter Health, Prime Healthcare, Stanford, UC San Diego, Hackensack Meridian, Mount Sinai, Houston Methodist, and many more.

CMS hospital directory

Every Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency department in the US, sourced from the CMS "Hospital General Information" dataset, refreshed quarterly. Includes addresses, phone, ownership, and CMS overall star rating.

CMS quality measures

Historical ED throughput from the "Timely & Effective Care" dataset (OP-18 median time to ED departure, OP-22 left without being seen, OP-23 head CT for stroke). Useful when no live data is available.

Important to know

Wait times are estimates and can change rapidly. Different hospitals report different metrics. This is not medical advice. Always call 911 in an emergency. Read our methodology.
