Yes, there is an ap fof that

One Vermont Hospital is only days away from turning to technology to ease the burden of emergency department overcrowding.

Few hospitals have all ready started to get creative with informing possible patient about wait time.

One has a bill board that is updated every five min.

Another has a text messaging system that sends you the wait time. This system has received 10,000 texts in the past months.

Now, please, take a second and imagine the scrambling nurses/ secretaries/ doctors, etc trying to answer those phone calls.

 I used to grumble under my breath that if they "needed to call and ask it wasn't an emergency." Now, thankfully, that time is freed up by technolohy.

Thank goodness. Wish this could be done everywhere.
