All Emergency Visit for Patients Residing in the Local Geographic Area (LGA) for Triage Le

Alberta, Canada, emergency department visits for patients with semi-urgent and non-urgent triage levels, categorized by the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS). The data provides a time profile of visits by day of the week and time for the 2013/2014 fiscal year, aggregated at both Local Geographic Area and provincial levels. This table is part of the "Alberta Health Primary Health Care - Community Profiles" report published in March 2015 by the Government of Alberta.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly patterns in non-urgent emergency department visits based on the weekday and time data.
• Model healthcare demand forecasting based on the time profile of semi-urgent and non-urgent triage levels.
• Compare emergency visit volumes across different Local Geographic Areas in Alberta mentioned in the description.
• Study the application of the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) for categorizing patient visits.

Strengths

• Data is aggregated at two geographic levels: 132 Local Geographic Areas and the province of Alberta.
• Covers a specific and recent fiscal year (2013/2014) for temporal analysis.
• Focuses on defined triage levels (CTAS 4 and 5) for consistent categorization.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
