Private software project
The published
picture, preserved.
Public emergency-department queue counts change over time. A private collector turns those changing pages into dated records of what was published.
The work brings together scheduled collection, validation and maintenance. The point is a record that can be traced back to its source.
Public aggregate counts, not patient records. Queue counts are not waiting-time estimates.
Inside the project
Three decisions01Keep the source in view
The starting point is a publicly reported, aggregate count. The record keeps the distinction between what the source publishes and what someone might infer from it.
What was published, not a prediction.
02Make collection repeatable
Scheduled collection and validation turn a changing page into a repeatable process. Maintenance is part of that work, because the source and the software can change.
Collection, checks and maintenance.
03Be clear about the limits
A queue count cannot tell a person how long they will wait. This is a private software project, not a public patient service or a tool for making care decisions.
A record with a defined scope.
