Only one Calgary hospital met emergency room wait time targets set by Alberta Health Services.
Last week, 78 per cent of patients at Alberta Childrens Hospital were treated and discharged within four hours, and 71 per cent were seen and admitted within the eight hour target.
49 per cent of visits at the Foothills Medical Centre were within the target time for discharged patients, 53 per cent at the Peter Lougheed Centre and 58 at The Rockyview.
When it came to admitted patients, 31 percent of visits to the Foothills Medical Centre were within the target time, 35 for Peter Lougheed and 25 for the Rockyview.
The target set by AHS for discharged patients is 70 per cent by March 2011 and 45 per cent for admitted patients.
