Understanding this data

What does "patients waiting" mean for Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital?
The patient count shows how many people are currently in Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital's emergency department waiting room or awaiting treatment. It provides a snapshot of demand, not a direct prediction of your wait time. Factors like triage category, staffing rosters, and the complexity of cases ahead of you determine how quickly you are seen. Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital has a reported capacity of 18 beds, so the ratio of waiting patients to available beds provides additional context.
When was this information last refreshed?
Patient counts for Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital are pulled from NSW Health on an hourly cycle. NSW Health itself refreshes its emergency department figures roughly every 15 minutes, so the source data may be slightly more current than what is shown here. You can check NSW Health for the latest.
