Urgence Québec | Temps Attente

Urgences Québec displays the stretcher occupancy rate for each emergency room in Quebec, based on public data from the Provincial Emergency Department. You can see at a glance where the situation is least congested before you go.

WHAT YOU SEE

• Stretcher occupancy in Quebec's approximately 120 emergency departments, as a percentage of operational capacity
• The number of patients present and the number waiting for treatment
• The average length of stay on a stretcher
• Sorting by distance and occupancy to find the least congested emergency department near you
• A map of all emergency departments in Quebec, with their occupancy levels indicated by color
• Favorites, and an alert when the occupancy of a favorite department falls below your chosen threshold
• The ability to hide an emergency department that is not relevant to you, such as a specialized institute

OFFICIAL DATA, UPDATED HOURLY
SOURCE: https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/fichier-horaire-des-donnees-de-la-situation-a-l-urgence

Single source: the emergency department situation schedule file, published on Données Québec by the Ministry of Health and Social Services. No estimates, no user contributions. Each entry shows the time of the last update received.

When an emergency doesn't provide its figures, the app displays "N/A" instead of generating a value. Color is never the only indicator: the percentage and description are always displayed.

WORKS WITHOUT GPS

You can decline location services and enter your postal code instead. Distances are then estimated from your area. Only the first three characters of the postal code are stored on your device.

NO TRACKING

No account, no ads, no analytics, no advertising ID, no device identifier. The app does not measure your usage. Your favorites, settings, and postal code remain on your phone and are never shared with us. Uninstalling the app erases everything.

Privacy Policy: https://urgence-qc.web.app/privacy/

AVAILABLE OFFLINE

The latest data received remains displayed even without a network connection, clearly dated so you know how recent it is.

INDEPENDENT APPLICATION

Urgences QC is an independent application published by Intuitions. It is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services, the Government of Quebec, or any healthcare institution. It simply presents publicly available data distributed under an open license.

THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

Urgences QC is not a substitute for Info-Santé 811 or the advice of a healthcare professional. The app does not tell you if you should seek medical attention or where to go. In case of a life-threatening emergency, call 911. If you are unsure about the severity of your situation, call Info-Santé 811, 24 hours a day.

Low occupancy does not guarantee a short wait time or a facility suited to your condition: triage is based on severity, not order of arrival.
